Gist of the sloka:
Believe that: One out of envy, does not follow my teachings and not practice it, are to be considered as fools, doomed to destruction.
Explanation:
Who out of jealousy and envy believe: he himself is responsible for his actions and its results; my actions are for my safe keeping, I will obtain the results on my own and enjoy it, I am responsible for my existence, no God or demi-Gods are responsible – will never have the door to truth ever opened for him. He will be considered among the world’s greatest fool. He is ignorant of his own lack of knowledge.
Such people will not have any right or eligibility towards understanding truth. They walk towards their own destruction. They go from darkness to even more darkness finally reaching complete destruction.
When listening to the above frightening scenario laid out by Lord Krishna, there appears to be question on everyone’s mind. Why does the populace not understand and follow the right path?
Lord Krishna answers it in the next verse.
