स्वमर्थं यः परित्यज्य परार्थमनुतिष्ठति । मिथ्या चरति मित्रार्थे यश्च मूढः स उच्यते॥५-३३-३१॥

He who abandons his own legitimate interest and pursues another’s interest, and he who acts falsely in the name of friendship—such a person is called deluded.

One who presses desire upon the desireless, who bears aversion toward the desirous, and who resents the powerful—such a one is called of deluded mind.

अमित्रं कुरुते मित्रं मित्रं द्वेष्टि हिनस्ति च । कर्म चारभते दुष्टं तमाहुर्मूढचेतसम्॥५-३३-३३॥

One who, without discernment, makes an enemy into a friend, who hates and harms a friend, and who undertakes corrupt action—such a one is called of deluded mind.

संसारयति कृत्यानि सर्वत्र विचिकित्सते । चिरं करोति क्षिप्रार्थे स मूढो भरतर्षभ॥५-३३-३४॥

He who entangles necessary tasks, who doubts in every matter, and who delays long over what should be done swiftly—he is deluded, O bull among the Bharatas.

english translation

अनाहूतः प्रविशति अपृष्टो बहु भाषते । विश्वसत्यप्रमत्तेषु मूढचेता नराधमः॥५-३३-३५॥

He who enters uninvited and speaks much when not asked—especially among those who are trusting, truthful, and unguarded—is a deluded-minded person, the lowest among men.
