Vrndavana
Scriptures and great bhakti teaches say that bhakti practitioners should always be straightforward in their dealings.
Straightforwardness means adopting an honest livelihood and avoiding lying and duplicity when dealing with others.
Such straightforwardness saves valuable time and frees one’s mind to think about Krishna.
“Kutinati, or diplomatic behavior, cannot satisfy the atma, the soul. It cannot even satisfy the body or the mind. The culprit mind is always suspicious; therefore our dealings should always be straightforward and approved by Vedic authorities. If we treat people diplomatically or duplicitously, our spiritual advancement is obstructed.”
(Cc Madhya 19.159)
