By thinking about the defects of a devotee of God, the jiva is defiled. Therefore, think of his virtues. And the stigma ascribed to Naradji,1 etc. is due to the effect of place, time and the power of God’s māyā. Understand it thus, since all of them were wise, great and liberated many jivas; thus, think of their virtues. Footnotes: 1. 1. Naradji was requested by King Shilnidhi to search for a husband for his daughter, the princess. Naradji looked at her palms and fell in love with her and wanted to marry her himself.
