36 Sri Isopanisad

about the Vedas without being instructed by members of the
line of Vyasadeva, or at least those who believe in the Personality
of Godhead and His diverse energies.

Only one who is already in the liberated status, according to
the Bhagavad-gita, can become an uttama adhikari devotee, and
can see everyone or every living being as his own brother. This
cannot be seen by politicians who are always after some material
gain. Imitation of this liberated status is to serve the outward
body (for fame, or some such reward) but is not service to the
spirit soul. Such imitators have no information of the Spiritual
World. The uttama adhikari sees the spirit soul of an entity, and
serves him as spirit, which includes matter automatically.
