Translation

Materiaalse looduse guṇade poolt segadusse aetuna, rakendavad teadmatuses viibivad inimesed end täielikult materiaalsetesse tegevustesse ja kiinduvad neisse. Kuid need, kes on arukad, ei tohiks neid sellegipoolest häirida, ehkki nende poolt täidetavad kohustused ei oma nende teadmatuse tõttu kuigi suurt väärtust.

Bewildered by the modes of material nature, the ignorant fully engage themselves in material activities and become attached. But the wise should not unsettle them, although these duties are inferior due to the performers’ lack of knowledge.

Purport

Inimesed, kes ei oma teadmisi, samastavad end ekslikult läbinisti materialistliku teadvusega ja omavad suurt hulka materiaalseid määratlusi. See keha on materiaalse looduse kingitus. Neid, kelle teadvus asub liialt tugevasti kehalistes arusaamades, nimetatakse mandadeks ehk laiskadeks inimesteks, kes ei mõista vaimset hinge. Teadmisteta inimesed peavad oma keha iseendaks ning tunnistavad sugulastena oma kehalisi sugulasi. Nende kummardamisobjektiks on maa, kus nad oma praeguse keha on omandanud, ning nad arvavad, et religioossed rituaalid eksisteerivad vaid rituaalide eneste pärast. Ühiskondlik töö, rahvuslus ja altruism on vaid mõningad selliste materialistliku meelestatusega inimeste tegevused. Kehaliste arusaamade mõju all on nad alati hõivatud materiaalsete tegevustega, vaimne eneseteadvustamine on nende jaoks vaid müüt, millest nad ei huvitu. Vaimses elus valgustunud inimesed ei tohiks aga selliseid läbinisti materialistlikke inimesi siiski segada. Parem on jätkata vaikselt oma vaimseid tegevusi. Sellistele segaduses viibivatele inimestele võib püüda õpetada vaid esmaste moraaliprintsiipide (näiteks vägivallast loobumise) järgimist ja materiaalselt häid tegevusi.

Persons who are unknowledgeable falsely identify with gross material consciousness and are full of material designations. This body is a gift of the material nature, and one who is too much attached to the bodily consciousness is called manda, or a lazy person without understanding of spirit soul. Ignorant men think of the body as the self; they accept bodily connections with others as kinsmanship, the land in which the body is obtained is their object of worship, and they consider the formalities of religious rituals to be ends in themselves. Social work, nationalism and altruism are some of the activities for such materially designated persons. Under the spell of such designations, they are always busy in the material field; for them spiritual realization is a myth, and so they are not interested. Those who are enlightened in spiritual life, however, should not try to agitate such materially engrossed persons. Better to prosecute one’s own spiritual activities silently. Such bewildered persons may be engaged in such primary moral principles of life as nonviolence and similar materially benevolent work.

Inimesed, kes ei oma teadmisi, ei oska hinnata Kṛṣṇa teadvuses töötamist ning seepärast annab Jumal Kṛṣṇa meile soovituse neid mitte häirida, sest sellega raiskame vaid kasutult oma väärtuslikku aega. Kuid Jumala pühendunud on armulikumad kui Jumal Ise, sest nad mõistavad Jumala eesmärke. Seepärast on nad valmis võtma enda peale kõikvõimalikke riske ja püüavad läheneda isegi teadmisteta inimestele, et üritada neid rakendada Kṛṣṇa teadvuse tegevustesse, mis on igale elusolendile hädavajalikud.

Men who are ignorant cannot appreciate activities in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and therefore Lord Kṛṣṇa advises us not to disturb them and simply waste valuable time. But the devotees of the Lord are more kind than the Lord because they understand the purpose of the Lord. Consequently they undertake all kinds of risks, even to the point of approaching ignorant men to try to engage them in the acts of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which are absolutely necessary for the human being.
