karmi jnani, micha-bhakta, na habe tate anurakta / suddha-bhajanete kara mana

[krsna 3]

Narottama Das Thakura Mahasaya:

 

karmi jnani, micha-bhakta, na habe tate anurakta,

suddha-bhajanete kara mana

 

"Don't be attached to the fruitive worker, the philosopher, and the

hypocritical devotee, but fix your mind in pure bhajana."

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur comments:

 

The cult of the so-called social

reformers (or society makers) of the past or present age is quite different

from the ideas and principles of bhaktas.

The followers of the former are

engaged, at present, in various movements relating to personal advantages

and self-enjoyment.
