Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 [This message was in HTML format] Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur comments that saralata, or simplicity, is the first qualification of a Vaisnava, whereas duplicity or cunning behaviour is a great offense against the principles of devotional service. As one advances in Krsna consciouness, one must gradually become disgusted with material attachment and thus become more and more attached to the service of the Lord. If one is not factually detached from material activities but still proclaims himself advanced in devotional service, he is cheating. No one will be happy to see such behavior. Cc. Antya 2.117, purport. Quoted from Sri Krsna Kathamrta Vol.2 No.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
