Gadhada Last Section Vach. 26 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

I do not like egotism. That ego may be about one’s devotion, renunciation, asceticism, attainment of the Brahm status, understanding, or obedience to the vartmans. In this manner, I detest the different kinds of egotism. I do not like hypocrisy. What is that hypocrisy? A particular individual may not have much determination, devotion or adherence to the religious decree within his heart. However, in front of others, he superficially shows himself to possess much virtue in order to portray his eminence. I am not impressed by that. I do not like it when someone worships God, but does not consider there to be any difference between himself and God. I do not like someone taking vows, then forsaking them for a short while and then once again deciding to abide by them. I do not like someone behaving erratically in that manner. An individual may understand the glory of God very well and also appreciate his own immense insignificance. However, if he does not consider his body to be separate from his soul and understands the soul to be his actual form, I do not like it. I shall now state what I do like. Consider a person who appropriately understands the glory of God and appreciates that his soul, which is separate from the body, is Brahm-roop. He firmly abides by the religious decree and performs unfaltering devotion to God. Even though he is like this, he considers himself to be greatly inferior to anyone who has a determination about God, but who may not have any kind of understanding about the Satsang; and he considers that person to be superior to him. Whilst speaking to others, he never even slightly boasts about his own understanding. I like such a person very much. Shreejimaharaj delivered the discourse in this manner.
