Hare Krishna, with love and trust I share what Srila Prabhupada said in Sri Radha Damodara in Vrindavana, Kartika 1972: APPRECIATION, Narada Muni says that the devotee always appreciates the qualities of other devotees, yes, that is the sign, appreciation of the activities of the devotees, a devotee who is currently liberated from all contaminations does not find any fault with other devotees, he does not think of himself as a great devotee, or greater than others, he thinks of himself as the most low of all, as the author of The Chaitanya Charitamrita, Krishna dasa Kaviraj says that I am as low as the insect that lives in the excrement, I am more sinful than Jagai and Madhai, whoever takes my name, immediately all the results of his pious activities fade away, it is not imitation, any devotee who is currently advanced, he feels it, just as the great scientist Sir Isaac Newton used to say that I have simply collected a few grains d e sand of the ocean of knowledge, indeed that is a fact, everything is unlimited, so no one should be proud that they have become a great devotee, everyone should be very humble, trinad api sunichena, taror api sahisnuna, amanena manadena, kirtaniya sada hari, if one thinks that he has become a very advanced devotee, that is very dangerous, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that my spiritual master saw me as a great fool, therefore he has punished me, do not read the Vedanta Sutra, sings Hare Krishna, He introduced himself in that way, he is Caitanya Mahaprabhu murka, fool, that concept has an advanced devotee, he never thinks he is a very advanced devotee, what is it to be advanced, the devotion that we can offer him to Krishna, He is unlimited, He kindly accepts our service, that is all, do not take pride in becoming a great devotee, that will be a first class fall.

Once a brahmachari devotee or celibate monk had an affair with a woman, when Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati found out he told him to leave the temple, and when the devotee was leaving the other devotees began to insult him by saying that you are a fallen, a deceiver, etc. , when Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati saw this he admonished his disciples and told them that I thought you were merciful people, and on another occasion a devotee had some discussions with other devotees and left the temple, when Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati found out he told the devotees that They went to look for him all over Calcutta, the devotees knew that he was an expert in fixing watches and they went to all the watch shops, at last they found him and the crying devotee told them that he was very sorry for the separation of the devotees and he went to live with devotees.

Srila Prabhupada always said that all the chaos that the Earth lives is due to the lack of serious and sincere devotees of God or Krishna, in the Adi Purana God or Krishna tells Arjuna that whoever says that he is My devotee, that is not My devotee, but the one who says that he is My devotee of My devotee of My devotee, that yes is My devotee, and in the Padma Purana Lord Siva tells his wife Parvati that the highest worship is to serve God or Krishna, but higher than that is serving the devotees of God or Krishna.
