Ye tu etat abhi asuyantah na anutrishtanti me matam I

sarva gyan vimudan tan viddhi nashtan achetasah II sloka 32

ये तु एतत् अभि असूयन्तः न अनुतिष्टन्ति मे मतं ।

सर्व ज्ञान विमूदान तान् विद्धि नश्तान अचेतसः ।। श्लोक ३२ 

But those who carp at my teaching and act not thereon, deluded in all knowledge and devoid of discrimination, know them to be ruined.

Fire hurts the one who mishandles it and it cooks food for another who utilises it properly. Losers are they who do not of this law of nature. Moral and spiritual laws are not different from the laws of nature. Those who avail themselves of these laws progress and prosper, while those others who defy and break them come to grief and debasement.

Cats claws and teeth are benevolent to the kitten and malevolent to the rat. Similarly maya, the power of the Lord, is beneficial to his devotees and harmful to malefactors.
