Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures
Vīrabhadra: You said in your lecture that everybody... I think that's what you said, that everybody in the material world is...in māyā. But you can't be in māyā.
Prabhupāda: How do you think?
Vīrabhadra: You're spiritual, so you can't be in māyā. So how does that work?
Prabhupāda: How do you think that I am not in māyā?
Vīrabhadra: Because you're a pure devotee. You see Kṛṣṇa in everybody.
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Yes. Then a pure devotee is not in māyā. Do you agree to that?
Vīrabhadra: Uh huh.
Prabhupāda: So are you going to be a pure devotee?
Vīrabhadra: Me?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Vīrabhadra: I'm not a pure devotee.
Prabhupāda: But you are going to be, trying to be.
Vīrabhadra: I try to be.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. That's all right. That's all right- nähaà tiñöhämi vaikuëöhe
- yogināṁ vā hṛdaye ca
- yatra gāyanti mad-bhaktā
- tatra tiṣṭhāmi nārada

Nectar of Devotion Lectures
Acyutānanda: ...says first-class, second-class and third-class devotees, they are pure devotees.
Prabhupāda: Yes, pure devotee is anyone who has no other motive except to serve Kṛṣṇa. It doesn't matter he's first class, second class or third... Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam [Brs. 1.1.11]. If he has got some motive, then he's not pure devotee. He may be not advanced, but if he has not motive, then he's pure devotee. If he wants to utilize Kṛṣṇa for his personal benefit, then he's not pure devotee. He's impure. So first of all he has to become pure devotee.General Lectures

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But a pure devotee is a friend to all.
Prabhupāda: Because he carries the message of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is friend, and he is carrying the friendly message. Therefore he is friend. If there is a nice friend and if somebody gives information of that nice friend, he is also friend. Therefore nobody can become friend except Kṛṣṇa's representative.1976 Conversations and Morning Walks
Guru dāsa: So the pure devotee is sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ [Bs. 5.1].
