Text 19] Deliverance of the Yamala-arjuna Trees 193
If we give up the association of sddhus, saintly persons engaged in Krsna
consciousness, and associate with persons seeking sense gratification and
accumulating wealth for this purpose, our life is spoiled. The word asat
refers to an avaisnava, one who is not a devotee of Krsna, and sat refers
toa Vaisnava, Krsna’s devotee. One should always seek the association of
Vaisnavas and not spoil one’s life by mixing with avaisnavas. In
Bhagavad-gita (7.15), the distinction between Vaisnava and avaisnava is
enunciated:
na mam duskrtino midhah
prapadyante narddhaméh
mayayapahrta-jnana
dsuram bhavam 4éritah
Anyone who is not surrendered to Krsna is a most sinful person
(duskrti), a rascal (midha), and the lowest of men (narddhama).
Therefore one should not avoid the association of Vaisnavas, which is
now available all over the world in the form of the Krsna consciousness
movement.
