Similarly, as soon as one is not K???a conscious, he's immediately a criminal, punishable. Therefore
K???a said, na ma? du?k?tino mu?ha? prapadyante naradhama?, mayayapah?ta... [Bg. 7.15]. He
does not know what he's doing, this rascal naradhama?, mu?ha. These mu?has... Therefore
when we say that a man who is not K???a conscious, he is naradhama?, mu?ha?, that is a fact.
But the world is such that satya? bruyat priya? bruyat ma bruyat satyam apriyam. They want
if you can say the truth, but don't say the unpalatable truth. But that is social etiquette.
When you speak about spiritual life there is no such scope. You must speak the truth:
"Yes, you are rascal. Because you are not K???a conscious: rascal, mu?ha. You are sinful.
You are lowest of the mankind." K???a says. K???a says, na ma? du?k?tino mu?ha?.
So this is the test. This is the test, that as soon as one is not K???a conscious, immediately
he comes to the group of sinful activities, rascaldom, lowest of the mankind, mayayapah?ta-jñana,
all knowledge taken away, and he's an asura, Hira?yakasipu's family, Hira?yakasipu's category.
So this is not optional, that "If I don't take to K???a consciousness, that is my wish,
my desire." No. If you desire in that way then you'll be punished. You become immediately...
You cannot say, "It is my optional. I may become a thief; I may remain honest. That
is my option." No. As soon as you become thief, you are punishable. Similarly, anyone who
is not K???a conscious, he's immediately punishable. Daivi hy e?a gu?amayi mama maya duratyaya
[Bg. 7.14]. The punishment will go on in various ways. That is going on. Ei rupe brahma??a
bhramite kono bhagyavan jiva [Cc. Madhya 19.151]. The punishment... This is punishment. That
is presented by K???a. Janma-m?tyu-jara-vyadhi-du?kha-do?anudarsanam [Bg. 13.9]. This du?kha, janma-m?tyu, repeatedly
to take birth and die, this is punishment. But these rascals, they do not care for it.
They have become so rascal that "Oh, oh, that m?tyu? I shall die because it is nature."
Why it has become your nature? Your nature is eternity. But they have no brain to understand.
They have become so foolish. Nitya? sasvato 'ya? na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20].
The spirit soul... I am soul; you are soul. I am not dying. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire.
But these foolish persons, they do not know. They accept death, birth and death, old age
and disease. There is no remedy. The so-called scientists, philosophers, they cannot give
any remedy. The only remedy is K???a consciousness.
