(7)

Translation: The people with demoniac nature, even if they are called saints, whether their disciples or they themselves, who do sadhna opposite to the injunctions of the scriptures, do not even know what to do and what to refrain from ; therefore, neither they have internal purity, nor good conduct and also truth is not known.

Important: In Gita Chapter 15 Verse 15 and Gita Chapter 9 Verse 17, the meaning of VedyaH and Vedyam’ has been given as ‘To know’.
