jñānī jīvan-mukta-daśā pāinu kari' māne
vastutaḥ buddhi 'śuddha' nahe kṛṣṇa-bhakti vine

 jñānī - the speculative philosophers; jīvan-mukta-daśā - the stage of liberation even while in this body; pāinu - I have gotten; kari' - taking; māne - considers; vastutaḥ - factually; buddhi - intelligence; śuddha - purified; nahe - not; kṛṣṇa-bhakti vine - without devotional service to Kṛṣṇa.


Text

“There are many philosophical speculators [jñānīs] belonging to the Māyāvāda school who consider themselves liberated and call themselves Nārāyaṇa. But their intelligence is not purified unless they engage in Kṛṣṇa’s devotional service.
