Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"One may be very educated, very good scholar in Vedic knowledge, but if he does not accept Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, or Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead . . . Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa the same. Viṣṇu-tattva. Viṣṇu-tattva means the category of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So durāśayā ye bahir-artha-māninaḥ (SB 7.5.31). Out of false hopes, they are trying to become successful. That is not possible. Durāśayā. Such kind of hope is useless hope. It will never be . . . Moghāśā mogha-karmāṇaḥ (BG 9.12). Leaving aside Viṣṇu, and simply they are trying to become very highly learned, mogha-jñāna vicetasaḥ (BG 9.12). So they are mogha, means their hopes will never be successful. They may go on."
