Aap Kahavat Rasik Kripan Mati, Kayar Matsar Lobh Livas.
Thag Bag Dimbhi Kapat Prem Bin, Tinahi Na Man Visvas.
- Shri Nagri Das, Nagri Das Ju Ki Vani (9)
Many claim to be rasikas, yet their hearts remain bound by narrow-minded doctrines and external formalities. They remain caught in rituals, rules, and injunctions-prohibitions, lacking the courage to renounce material attractions. Like the hypocritical crane that merely pretends to meditate, they wear the outward dress of devotion while remaining untouched by love. Consequently, genuine, unwavering faith in Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa never blossoms within them.
