Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 1
The harmful, foolish and passionate cannot be devotees of the Lord, however they may advertise themselves as devotees by outward dress.
SB 1.2.19, Purport: A devotee is always in the mode of unalloyed goodness; therefore he harms no one. But the nondevotee, however educated he may be, is always harmful. A devotee is neither foolish nor passionate. The harmful, foolish and passionate cannot be devotees of the Lord, however they may advertise themselves as devotees by outward dress. A devotee is always qualified with all the good qualities of God. Quantitatively such qualifications may be different, but qualitatively both the Lord and His devotee are one and the same.
