And the Bhāgavata also says, sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]]), how one has increased his devotion and love for Kṛṣṇa, that is the test of it.

So in the beginning if there is some defect, we should not consider that. We have to see how much his love for Kṛṣṇa has increased, that is the test. Not the formalities. That is the test, how much he has sacrificed for Kṛṣṇa, how much he is prepared to sacrifice for Kṛṣṇa. If one takes Kṛṣṇa for making business, that is different thing, that is not devotion. Śālagrāma, my Guru Maharaja used to say śālagrām bir badam hoy (?). Just like you have seen śālagrāma. So if somebody takes that and breaks peanuts, so there is no devotion. It is a show during, attracting the visitors, it is nicely decorated, but in their absence, take it and you will have stone. So all this mostly the temple show is going on like that. They have made it a show of business. The devotees will come and pay something and I may have devotion or not devotion, it doesn't matter. One should be baccha bankaram suci (?), inside and outside perfect.q</p> | | |

| | Caitanya Mahāprabhu speaking, ''āpani ācari prabhu jīvere śikhāya'': He behaves Himself perfectly, and then teaches how to become a devotee. He is mad after Kṛṣṇa; He is falling down in the sea. You see? So that is wanted. And the ''Bhāgavata'' also says, ''sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir'' . . .

Even ''sudurācāraḥ'', even not well behaved, but unflinching faith in Kṛṣṇa, ''sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ'', he is ''sādhu''. Don't consider about his misbehaviors. That is not consideration. That will be corrected. Because he has taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, gradually those things, those defects will be corrected. ''Kṣipraṁ bhavati dharmātmā śaśvac-chāntiṁ nigacchati'' ([[vanisource:BG 9.31 (1972)|BG 9.31]]): he will become very soon a great religious soul because he has taken to Kṛṣṇa. |
