Instructions for Civilized Human Beings
211
Ajāmila's deliverance, Yamarāja says,  dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītam : real religion is that which is given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, just as real law is that which is given by the government. No one can manufacture actual law at home, nor can one manufacture actual religion. Elsewhere it is said,  sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje : the real religious system is that which leads one to become a devotee of the Supreme Lord. Therefore, anything opposed to this religious system of progressive Kṛṣṇa consciousness is called  vidharma ,  para-dharma ,  upadharma  or  chala-dharma . Misinterpretation of  Bhagavad-gītā  is  chala-dharma . When Kṛṣṇa directly says something and some rascal interprets it to mean something different, this is  chala-dharma —a religious system of cheating—or  śabda-bhit , a jugglery of words. One should be extremely careful to avoid these various types of cheating systems of religion.

TRANSLATION
A pretentious religious system manufactured by one who willfully neglects the prescribed duties of his order of life is called  ābhāsa  [a dim reflection or false similarity]. But if one performs the prescribed duties for his particular  āśrama  or  varṇa , why are they not sufficient to mitigate all material distresses?
