Translator:
But those who criticize My teaching and do not practice it, deprived of all knowledge and lacking discernment, know them to be doomed to destruction.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: those who find fault and don't follow the teaching are called deluded in all knowledge and lost, a strong warning about the cost of pure skepticism without practice.
In life: endlessly critiquing a discipline without ever actually practicing it keeps you exactly where you started.
Teaching: balance healthy skepticism with actual practice. Critique alone, without trying, doesn't move you anywhere.
