The Liberation of Sārvabhauma Bhattācārya
331
benediction of the lotus feet of the Lord. Sometimes they rise to the Brahman effulgence, but because their minds are not completely purified, they must return to material existence.
The  karmīs  are fully under the bodily conception of life, and the  jñānīs , although theoretically understanding that they are not the body, also have no information about the lotus feet of the Lord because they overly stress impersonalism. Consequently both  karmīs  and  jñānīs  are unfit for receiving the mercy of the Lord and becoming devotees. Narottama dāsa Țhākura therefore says,  jñāna-kāṇḍa karma-kāṇḍa, kevala viṣera bhāṇḍa : those who have taken to the process of  karma-kāṇḍa  (fruitive activity) and  jñāna-kāṇḍa  (speculation on the science of transcendence) have simply eaten from poisoned pots. They are condemned to remain in material existence life after life until they take shelter of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. This is confirmed in  Śrimad Bhagavad-gītā :
bahūnārṅ janmanām ante jñānavān mārṅ prapadyate vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ
“After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.” (Bg. 7.19)
