Translation

One who restrains the senses of action but whose mind dwells on sense objects certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender.

Den, der afholder sanserne fra at handle, men hvis sind dvæler ved sanseobjekterne, bedrager med sikkerhed sig selv og kaldes en hykler.

Purport

There are many pretenders who refuse to work in Kṛṣṇa consciousness but make a show of meditation, while actually dwelling within the mind upon sense enjoyment. Such pretenders may also speak on dry philosophy in order to bluff sophisticated followers, but according to this verse these are the greatest cheaters. For sense enjoyment one can act in any capacity of the social order, but if one follows the rules and regulations of his particular status, he can make gradual progress in purifying his existence. But he who makes a show of being a yogī while actually searching for the objects of sense gratification must be called the greatest cheater, even though he sometimes speaks of philosophy. His knowledge has no value, because the effects of such a sinful man’s knowledge are taken away by the illusory energy of the Lord. Such a pretender’s mind is always impure, and therefore his show of yogic meditation has no value whatsoever.

FORKLARING: Der er mange hyklere, der nægter at arbejde i Kṛṣṇa- bevidsthed samtidig med, at de foregiver at meditere, imens deres sind i virkeligheden dvæler ved sansenydelse. Man kan også høre dem tale tør filosofi for at bluffe sofistikerede tilhængere, men ifølge dette vers er sådanne hyklere de største bedragere. For sin sansenydelses skyld kan man handle i en hvilken som helst kapacitet i den sociale orden, men hvis man følger de særlige regler og forskrifter, der gælder for ens status, kan man gradvist rense sin eksistens. Men den, der foregiver at være en yogī, mens han i virkeligheden tragter efter sanseobjekterne, må siges at være den største bedrager, også selv om han til tider taler filosofi. Hans viden er uden værdi, for virkningerne af et sådant syndigt menneskes viden ophæves af Herrens illusoriske energi. En sådan hyklers sind er altid urent, og derfor har hans opvisning af yogisk meditation ingen værdi overhovedet.
