<div class="purport text"><p>As stated by Caitanya Mahāprabhu ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.54|CC Madhya 22.54]]):</p>
<p>'sādhu-saṅga,' 'sādhu-saṅga'—sarva-śāstre kaya</p>
:lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya
<p>If by chance one meets a sādhu, a devotee, one's life is immediately successful, and one is freed from material bondage. It may be argued that whereas someone may receive a sādhu with great respect, someone else may not receive a sādhu with such respect. A sādhu, however, is always equipoised toward everyone. Because of being a pure devotee, a sādhu is always ready to deliver Kṛṣṇa consciousness without discrimination. As soon as one sees a sādhu, one naturally becomes free. Nonetheless, persons who are too much offensive, who commit vaiṣṇava-aparādhas, or offenses to a sādhu, will have to take some time before being rectified. This is also indicated herein.</p>
