There are two kinds of speakers:
Saraga-Vakta – One who has material desires. Saraga speakers are lusty and greedy and their words do not touch the heart because although they give instructions they do not give careful consideration. That instruction which is given without thorough study and careful consideration brings about the destruction of the people.
Niraga Vakta – One who has no material desires. A person whose speech brings liberation even when heard by one filled with lust, anger, and a host of other vices, or by a miser, or by a person filled with despair, is the topmost spiritual master.
- Shrila Jiva Goswamipada
Note: We should not judge others (especially seniors) on the above basis otherwise due to our immature vision we may commit offences. Instead we ourselves should try to come to the plateform of niraga vakta.
