Bhagavad Gita 3.32
ये त्वेतदभ्यसूयन्तो नानुतिष्ठन्ति मे मतम्। सर्वज्ञानविमूढांस्तान्विद्धि नष्टानचेतसः॥
ye tvetad abhyasūyanto nānutiṣhṭhanti me matam sarva-jñāna-vimūḍhāns tān viddhi naṣhṭān achetasaḥ
Translation
Who carp at My teaching and act not thereon, senseless, deluded in all knowledge, know thou these mindless ones as fated to be destroyed.
What it means
Those who carp at this teaching and do not practice it are deluded and lost. Cynicism is named as the true barrier, not lack of talent. Scoffing protects the ego and costs everything else.
Try this today
Criticizing a method one never tries is called self-destruction, not discernment.
Something to reflect on
Which teaching do I argue with precisely to avoid practicing it?
