14 The Nectar of Instruction

adanta-gobhir visatam tamisram
punah punas carvita-carvananam

“For those who have decided to continue their existence in
this material world for the gratification of their senses, there
is no chance of becoming Krsna conscious, not by personal
endeavor, by instruction from others or by joint con-
ferences. They are dragged by the unbridled senses into the
darkest region of ignorance, and thus they madly engage in
what is called ‘chewing the chewed.’ ”
