A WORLDLING IS A POOR EXPONENT OF THE SASTRAS

A MAN wanted to engage a Bhagavata pandit who
could explain the Bhagavata to him. His friend
said: "I know of an excellent pandit. But there is
one difficulty; he does a great deal of farming. He
has four ploughs and eight bullocks and is always
busy with them; he has no leisure." Thereupon
the man said: "I don't care for a pandit who has no
leisure.
I am not looking for a Bhagavata scholar burdened
with ploughs and bullocks. I want a pandit who
can really expound the sacred book to me."
