Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung in his Kalyāṇa-kalpataru: saṁsāre āsiyā prakṛti bhajiyā "puruṣa" abhimāne mari. When the living entity comes to the material world, he thinks himself the enjoyer.

<div class="heading">Regarding the defects of the sahajiyās, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura quotes Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura from his book Kalyāṇa-kalpataru.</div>
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Antya 4.173|CC Antya 4.173, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">"A devotee on the topmost platform of devotional service always humbly thinks that he is not rendering any devotional service. He thinks that he is poor in devotional service and that his body is material. On the other hand, those known as the sahajiyās foolishly think that their material bodies are transcendental. Because of this, they are always bereft of the association of pure devotees, and thus they cannot behave like Vaiṣṇavas. Observing the defects of the sahajiyās, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung as follows in his book Kalyāṇa-kalpataru:</p>
:āmi ta' vaiṣṇava,     e-buddhi ha-ile, 
:amānī nā haba āmi 
:pratiṣṭhāśā āsi’,     hṛdaya dūṣibe, 
:ha-iba niraya-gāmī 
:nije śreṣṭha jāni’,     ucchiṣṭādi-dāne, 
:habe abhimāna bhāra 
:tāi śiṣya tava,     thākiyā sarvadā, 
:nā la-iba pūjā kāra 
<p>"If I think I am a Vaiṣṇava, I shall look forward to receiving respect from others. And if the desire for fame and reputation pollutes my heart, certainly I shall go to hell. By giving others the remnants of my food, I shall consider myself superior and shall be burdened with the weight of false pride. Therefore, always remaining your surrendered disciple, I shall not accept worship from anyone else.'"</p></div>
