TRANSLATION
The wise have explained to us that one result is derived from the culture of knowledge, and it is said that a different result is obtained from the culture of nescience.
PURPORT
The culture of knowledge can be practically conducted in the following way, as is advised in the  Bhagavad-gītā  (Thirteenth Chapter). There it is said that:
1. One should become a perfect gentleman himself, and learn to give proper respect to persons other than himself.
2. One should not pose himself as a religionist simply for name and fame.
