In the Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavan Krishna describes very clearly that the world has only three types of beings: First, those who are completely enlightened, and who are guiding the way. Only good happens to the world because of them. Second, unenlightened beings, who can disturb themselves but not others; who are ignorant, and do not know the way, but are ready to be guided. Third, unenlightened cunning fellows who don't know, but who are guiding others and trying to create a culture; who are teaching without knowing the truth. These people are criminals, because they destroy the whole society, the whole civilization. Bhagavan is advising on all three categories.

To the ignorant people, he says, ‘Don’t follow unenlightened teachers; they are criminals.’
To the cunning fellows, he says, ‘Don’t destroy the trust of the ignorant people. Don’t try to interfere with their life; you will only destroy them.’
To the enlightened beings, he says, ‘It is now your responsibility. Encourage the ignorant people, continue to inspire them to seek the truth of life, guide them to be in action without being attached to the results of their actions, guiding them to develop the qualities of love, trust, devotion, and all the auspicious qualities.’
If you are in the ignorant group, take care that you are not guided by the unenlightened beings, either socially, spiritually, morally, or culturally.
If you are in the cunning group, trying to guide others, stop your criminal acts! You have created enough poison in the human mind, you have caused enough destruction!
If you are an enlightened being, understand that it is your responsibility to inspire people to seek the right things in life.
