Text 43] Entanglement in Fruitive Activities 1413
entities other than human beings. The word sucaye means one who is
cleansed both externally and internally. To become actually cleansed
externally and internally, one should chant the holy name of the Lord,
Hare Krsna, or Visnu, constantly.

The word diyatdm means that knowledge of Krsna consciousness should
be offered by the spiritual master. The spiritual master must not accept a
disciple who is not qualified; he should not be professional and should
not accept disciples for monetary gains. The bona fide spiritual master
must see the bona fide qualities of a person whom he is going to initiate.
An unworthy person should not be initiated. The spiritual master should
train his disciple in such a way so that in the future only the Supreme
Personality of Godhead will be the dearmost goal of his life.

In these two verses the qualities of a devotee are fully explained. One
who has actually developed all the qualities listed in these verses is already
elevated to the post of a devotee. If one has not developed all these quali-
ties, he still has to fulfill these conditions in order to become a perfect
devotee.

Anyone who once meditates upon Me with faith and affection, who
hears and chants about Me, surely goes back home, back to Godhead.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Third Canto, Thirty-second
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Entanglement in Fruitive
Activities.”
