kas tan svayam tad-abhijno vipascid
avidyayam antare vartamanam

drstvd punas tam saghrnah kubuddhim
prayojayed utpathagarn yathandham

kah—who is that person; tam—him; svayam—personally: tat-
abhijriah—knowing spiritual knowledge: vipascit—a learned scholar;
avidyayam antare—in ignorance: vartamdnam—existing: drstva—
seeing: punah—again; tam—him; sa-ghrnah—very merciful: ku-bud-
dhim—who is addicted to the path of samsdra; prayojayet—would
engage: utpatha-gam—who is proceeding on the wrong path: yatha—
like; andham—a blind man.

TRANSLATION

If someone is ignorant and addicted to the path of sarnsara, how
can one who is actually learned, merciful and advanced in spiritual
knowledge engage him in fruitive activity and thus further en-
tangle him in material existence? If a blind man is walking down
the wrong path, how can a gentleman allow him to continue on his
way to danger? How can he approve this method? No wise or kind
man can allow this.
