Kadamba Kanana Swami:
(partial transcript) Devotees must be saintly. It's nice to put tilak, neck beads, lots of saffron or other things - it doesn't make one saintly. All the externals don't make us saintly.
We must really become the well wisher of all living beings. So that is bringing up the topic of compassion. But how can you have compassion for other living beings, how can you really be the well wisher of other living beings and care for them?....
