Not exactly the cloth but in terms of pretense.. I mean a person pretending to be an Akarmi but is in fact a Karmi.
However, I'm not too much in accord with all that.
The Iskcon concept of Akarma is quite incomplete and also misleading.
Some of the profound concept surrounding that issue which have been explained in the Gita have been missed.
If tommorrow I leave my job and starts distributing Prasadam that does not mean from a Karmi I've become an Akarmi.
Whatever job I undertaking, the inward renunciation is important.
While distributing books and Prasadam, if still the thought of how much I will be able to distribute is tormenting me, then it is not yet Akarma.
Action should be undertaken zealously but with staunch inward detachment.
