3.32 Those who scorn it Krishna speaks

ये त्वेतदभ्यसूयन्तो नानुतिष्ठन्ति मे मतम्
सर्वज्ञानविमूढांस्तान्विद्धि नष्टानचेतसः

ye tvetad abhyasūyanto nānutiṣhṭhanti me matam
sarva-jñāna-vimūḍhāns tān viddhi naṣhṭān achetasaḥ

But those who scorn it and do not live by it — deluded in every kind of knowledge, without discernment — know them to be lost.

Explanation

And those who scorn it.

Deluded in every kind of knowledge, without discernment — know them to be lost.

The harshest line in the chapter, and it is aimed at contempt rather than at ignorance. 3.26 and 3.29 asked the wise not to disturb the unknowing; the scornful are a different category.
