“… If someone does not understand this and considers both to be equivalent, then he should be known to have a swabhãv of obstinacy and to be arrogant. If such a person does observe religious vows because of that obstinacy, and if he remains in the Satsang fellowship in this manner till the end, then it is all well and good; but one cannot have complete faith in him. Why? Because if he is offended by some remarks, or if his self-importance is not maintained, then he will not remain as he is. On the other hand, one who offers bhakti to God and observes religious vows with obstinacy is called a rãjarshi. Even greater, one who offers bhakti to God while observing religious vows with the intention of pleasing God is called a brahmarshi and a sãdhu. There is a similar difference in the fruits of the two as well.”
