One who lazily follows one’s lower nature: Knowing the Divine
न मां दुष्कृतिनो मूढाः प्रपद्यन्ते नराधमाः।

na māṁ duṣhkṛitino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ
māyayāpahṛita-jñānā āsuraṁ bhāvam āśhritāḥ

The sinner, the ignorant, the vile, deprived of spiritual perception by the glamour of illusion, and he who leads a godless life—none of them shall find me.
