Anyone who is not Krsna conscious, anyone who does not understand Krsna, he is within these groups. What are these groups? Duskrtina. Duskrtina means one has got merit, but the merit is utilized for sinful activities. You can use your merit two ways -- for good purpose and for bad purpose also. Just like thieves and rogues, they have got merit. They know how to steal, how to cheat. It is not unintelligent. They are intelligent. But their intelligence, merit, is used for bad purposes. They are called duskrtina. And mudha-purposefully they are trying to avoid. Every step they are being baffled, and still, they are trying to avoid the supreme controller. Therefore mudha. And naradhama, naradhama means the lowest of the mankind. In the animal life they could not understand Krsna or God -- that is not possible -- and they have got this human form of life... In this life one can understand what is God, what is Krsna. Just like we are trying. That is possible. But if we do not take advantage of this human form of life to understand what is God, what is Krsna, then you are lowest of the mankind. So na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah mayayapahrta-jnana [Bg. 7.15]. And if we say that "There are so many doctors of philosophy, doctors of science, they are also hovering under this darkness, how is that? Then what about their education?" Yes, their education, certainly, but mayayapahrta-jnana. The result of education, knowledge, that is taken away by maya.
