In Vachanamrut Gadhada III-35, it is stated, “By serving the sadhu who has the six virtues,1 one gains the merits of serving God; and by insulting him, one incurs the sin of insulting God.” Footnotes: 1. 1. The six virtues are: (1) he never believe God to be formless, (2) he engage in the ekāntik bhakti of God and is pleased when someone else does the same, (3) when he stays among devotees, he does not allow any of his swabhāvs to interfere, (4) when he comes across any precious item, he is happier giving it away, (5) he is of frank nature, such that everyone would know him outwardly and inwardly, and (6) though of a quiet nature, he does not like the company of kusangis.
