References and Context
- ↑ In this context the question arises that those who possess the divine traits deserve devotion, but the vile sinner who does not possess thew traits can't deserve it. It is a fact, but even if the vilest sinner worships God with exclusive devotion, he becomes a saint very quickly viz., he by God's grace possesses the divine traits quickly (Gita 9/30-31).
