Just like Brahmā.
Brahmā is the original. There are... Who is mahājana? Mahājana. In India, a mahājana is accepted who
can give you loan, money. He's called mahājana. Not that, that all. It is, it is a perverted word.
But mahājana means a, one who is pure devotee of the Lord. Mahātmāmeans who is pure devotee of the
Lord. Sādhu means who is a devotee—not these street beggars.
Sādhu. Sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ
samyag vyavasito hi... (BG 9.30).
Who are they? Sādhur eva sa
mantavyaḥ.
api cet su-durācāro
bhajate mām ananya-bhāk
sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ...
(BG 9.30)
He's sādhu. Even if we find some discrepancies in the life of a devotee... Just like these European,
Americans.
They're devotees. They are pure devotee of Kṛṣṇa. How? They have no other desire. They simply want to satisfy their spiritual master and Kṛṣṇa. Therefore they are pure devotees. They have no other business. They have sacrificed everything.
They are coming from rich family, rich nation, educated, everything. There is no scarcity in their country.
Everything's complete. But still, for Kṛṣṇa they have forsaken everything. That is pure devotion.

ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-
śīlanam bhaktir uttamām
