"The devotees who do not deceive living beings, are not respected in society. Currently, there are those who deviate people in the name of talking about hari-kathā, and being deceived by such people has become a common thing in this era. The true devotees, those who want to expose the non-devotees, are often called "thieves" and "non-devotees" by these same thieves and scammers. Māyā will not allow people to be sincere. Rather, it invents so many ways and means to keep people away from the association of true devotees." Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Saras Prabhupāda Prabhupāda Unusual Dialogs
