Text 19] Deliverance of the Yamala-arjuna Trees
193
If we give up the association of  sādhus , saintly persons engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and associate with persons seeking sense gratification and accumulating wealth for this purpose, our life is spoiled. The word  asat  refers to an  avaiṣṇava , one who is not a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, and  sat  refers to a Vaiṣṇava, Kṛṣṇa's devotee. One should always seek the association of Vaiṣṇavas and not spoil one's life by mixing with  avaiṣṇavas . In  Bhagavad-gītā  (7.15), the distinction between Vaiṣṇava and  avaiṣṇava  is enunciated:
na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ māyayāpahṛta-jñānā āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ
Anyone who is not surrendered to Kṛṣṇa is a most sinful person ( duṣkṛtī ), a rascal ( mūḍha ), and the lowest of men ( narādhama ). Therefore one should not avoid the association of Vaiṣṇavas, which is now available all over the world in the form of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
