Display ideal character and to interact with others with
with politeness and respect
Therefore, those who are members of this society, they should be ideal. Simply by their association people will become good, very good responsibility. And if they become bad themselves, there is no possibility because we are giving instruction. We are behaving like that. Still, one becomes bad—où, that is very great misfortune. Therefore all our members, the members of the Kåñëa consciousness society, should be ideal. At least people may see that "Here is a class of men—ideal character, ideal behavior, spiritual advanced, and very frugal and very nice." That is... Yasyästi bhaktir bhagavaty akiïcanä sarvair guëais tatra samäsate suräù [SB 5.18.12]. That is natural. If one becomes a devotee... That is the certificate, that how one has achieved good qualities.
