TRANSLATION
Those who are
devotees of other gods and who worship them with faith actually worship only
Me, O son of Kunti, but they do so in a wrong way.
PURPORT
"Persons who are engaged in the worship of
demigods are not very intelligent, although such worship is offered to Me
indirectly," Krishna says. For example, when a man pours water on the
leaves and branches of a tree without pouring water on the root, he does so
without sufficient knowledge or without observing regulative principles.
Similarly, the process of rendering service to different parts of the body is to
supply food to the stomach. The demigods are, so to speak, different officers
and directors in the government of the Supreme Lord. One has to follow the laws
made by the government, not by the officers or directors. Similarly, everyone
is to offer his worship to the Supreme Lord only. That will automatically
satisfy the different officers and directors of the Lord. The officers and
directors are engaged as representatives of the government, and to offer some
bribe to the officers and directors is illegal. This is stated here as
avidhi-pürvakam. In other words, Krishna does not approve the unnecessary
worship of the demigods.
