Yaśomatīnandana: He comes to the maṅgala ārati, but then he says that you don't have to go worship Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Yaśomatīnandana: He comes to maṅgala ārati, but he says to us that, "You don't have to go to worship Kṛṣṇa in the temple."
Prabhupāda: But we haven't got to learn from you. We have got better teacher than you.
Yaśomatīnandana: I told him like that.
Prabhupāda: (japa) (break) They'll talk of Kṛṣṇa so many things, but they're not devotees. Just like Kaṁsa. They may talk of Kṛṣṇa or think of Kṛṣṇa, but they don't accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme. Therefore they are demons. This is test. They'll read Bhagavad-gītā, but they'll not accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme. And that is the demonic. Māyayāpahṛta-jñānā āsuriṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ (BG 7.15). Because they are demons, therefore their so-called knowledge is useless, apahṛta-jñāna. And apparently, they seem to be very learned scholar, but there is no knowledge. There is no knowledge. This is the demonic . . . just like Rāvaṇa. He was very much advanced student in Vedic literature, but he was a demon. So simply by studying Vedas one does not become out of the jurisdiction of demons. Just like Jarāsandha. He was also worshiping Viṣṇu, but he was a demon. He was a demon. His purpose was different. The yajñic brāhmaṇa, they also could not understand Kṛṣṇa. So this is the crucial test. If one does not understand Kṛṣṇa and become submissive to surrender, he remains a demon, however big scholar he may be.
