Good Qualities Arise from Unflinching Devotion
“In one who has unflinching devotional faith in Kṛṣṇa, all the good qualities of Kṛṣṇa and the demigods are consistently manifested. However, one who has no devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no good qualifications because he is engaged by mental concoction in material existence, which is the external feature of the Lord.”
What the purport teaches

- One who has no devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no good qualifications.
- Without devotion, one is engaged by mental concoction in material existence, the Lord’s external feature.
