Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Devotee (3): Often the devotee thinks that he's more unhappy than the karmis because he knows he's unhappy. Prabhupada: Then that means he is not a devotee. Devotee (3): He's not a devotee. Prabhupada: Yes. He's not devotee. Devotee means the first sign will be happy, brahma-bhutah prasannatma. If he's not prasannatma, he's a rascal. He has not entered even devotional life. He's outside. That is the test. Just like Dhruva Maharaja. When he saw Visnu, he said, "Everything is all right. I don't want anything." Svamin krtartho 'smi. That is Vaisnava. And if he is still in want or unhappiness, that means he has no spiritual life at all. He is simply making a show.
