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-gita (Thirteenth
Chapter). There it is said that:

1. One should become a_ perfect gentleman himself, and
learn lo give proper respect lo persons other than himself.

2. One should not pose himself as a religionist simply for
name and fame.
