Bhakti has no connection whatever with dress and speech. How can people be said to have joined the ranks of devotees merely because they have the dress and the speech? Bhakti belongs to the inner feeling, not to what is outward. Where there is smoke, one can say there is fire; but to say that wherever there is fire there will be smoke is false. There can be fire without smoke, but there can never be smoke without fire. In the same way, there can be karmas without feeling, but one cannot say that where there are no ostentatious karmas there is no feeling.
