"Even so called spiritual knowledge that is devoid of a personal conception of God is unstaisfying, and so what to speak of fruitive activities, which are by nature miserable and temporary? By having described things with a separatist vision, without relation to the Supreme Lord, you have greatly misled the people in general. By giving them concessions for both earthly and heavenly sense enjoyment, you have encouraged them, in the name of religion, to aggravate their material disease. This has created a great stumbling block on the path of progressive spiritual life, and thus your work must be condemned."
"You should have led the masses of people to the path of pure devotional service, for one who takes to such transcendental engagement is never the loser, whereas non devotees cannot gain anything tangible."
Sripada Narada Muni to Srila Vyasadeva - Canto 1
