Bhagavad Gita · 3.32 · Path of Selfless Service·32 of 43

ये त्वेतदभ्यसूयन्तो नानुतिष्ठन्ति मे मतम्।सर्वज्ञानविमूढांस्तान्विद्धि नष्टानचेतसः ॥

ye tvetad abhyasūyanto nānutiṣhṭhanti me matam

sarva-jñāna-vimūḍhāns tān viddhi naṣhṭān achetasaḥ

Sanskrit recitation

Your work, not someone else’s · 3.30–3.35 · Teaching

Translation

But those who criticize My teaching and do not practice it, deprived of all knowledge and lacking discernment, know them to be doomed to destruction.

Meaning

The pigheaded people who are obstinate, who find fault with the teachings of the Lord and who do not practise them are certainly doomed to destruction. They are incorrigible and senseless persons indeed.
