So Prahlada Maharaja says, soce tato vimukha-cetasa maya-sukhaya bharam udvahato vimūḍhan [SB 7.9.43].

Vimūḍhan. They are proud of education, proud of learning, advancement, everything, all right, complete. But real knowledge-"Do you know God?"-that he cannot explain. That he cannot explain. He will explain something hodgepodge. This is the disease. Therefore they are vimūḍhan. (More...)
