Those who practice severe austerities without following the scriptures, with hypocrisy and egotism, impelled by lust, and attachment; / Senselessly torturing the elements in their body and also Me who dwell within the body; know these ignorant persons to be of demonic nature.
But, those who carp at My teaching and do not practice it, consider them as ignorant of all knowledge, senseless, and lost.
This being the case; the ignorant person who considers oneself as the sole agent due to imperfect understanding does not understand.
The ignorant persons having false hopes, false actions, and false knowledge, possess the delusive qualities.
The ignorant ones, not knowing My supreme natures as the great Lord of all beings, disregard Me when I assume human form.
Sever the ignorant doubt in your heart with the sword of self-knowledge. Observe your discipline. Arise.
I am not known by all. Therefore, the ignorant one does not know Me as the unborn and eternal Brahman.
