PURPORT
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura comments that saralatd, or simplicity, is
the first qualification of a Vaisnava, whereas duplicity or cunning behavior is a
great offense against the principles of devotional service. As one advances in
Krsna consciousness, one must gradually become disgusted with material attach-
ment and thus become more and more attached to the service of the Lord. If one
is not factually detached from material activities but still proclaims himself ad-
vanced in devotional service, he is cheating. No one will be happy to see such
behavior.
