Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy\u2019s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam<\/h3>\n

‘Men of evil deeds, the ignorant, ignoble men, divorced of understanding by m\u0101y\u0101, and men of demoniac nature, do not resort to Me.[1. See Lecture XVI<\/a> for a full description of this class.]’<\/span><\/p>\n

Men of evil or wicked deeds<\/em> are of four kinds, distinguished by the deeds done by them. It is those who do not come to Me in resignation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The four kinds of wicked men are:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the m\u016bdh\u0101\u1e25<\/em>=the ignorant: those of wrong or perverted understanding, those who think what is God\u2019s own as theirs, for example the \u0101tm\u0101 (soul) which is specifically characterized as that which is essentially liege<\/a> to (or the property of) Bhagav\u0101n; and in the same way all the objects of enjoyment (the world) (they consider as their own).<\/li>\n
  2. the nar-\u0101dham\u0101\u1e25<\/em>=the ignoble men: those who, albeit<\/a> knowing My nature in a general way, are yet distant with respect to My love (or loving Me).<\/li>\n
  3. the m\u0101yay\u0101 apah\u1e5bita-j\u00f1\u0101n\u0101\u1e25<\/em>= those who have forfeited the understanding they had acquired concerning Me and My Sovereign Glory by means of irrelevant and adverse specious reasonings (or logic).<\/li>\n
  4. the \u0101suram bh\u0101vam \u0101\u015brit\u0101\u1e25<\/em>\u2014those of demoniac nature: those whose well-settled understanding as regards Me and My Sovereign Glory serves them only as means to cultivate enmity with Me.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the order stated, one class is more sinful than the other.<\/span><\/p>\n
