dushprajnah -- those of corrupted intelligence; aviditva -- failing to understand; evam -- in this way; avajananti -- neglect; asuyavah -- and behave enviously toward; gurum -- their spiritual master; mam -- Me; vipram -- the learned brahmana; atmanam -- their own self; arca-adau -- in the visibly manifest Deity of the Lord; ijya -- as being worshipable; drishtayah -- whose vision.

Ignorant of this truth, foolish people neglect and enviously offend a learned brahmana, who, being nondifferent from Me, is their spiritual master and very self. They consider worshipable only such obvious manifestations of divinity as My Deity form.
