saile saile na manikyam mauktikam na gaje gaje
sadhava nahi sarvatra chanmdanam na vane vane
“Just as every hilltop doesn’t contain a ruby, a pearl isn’t found inside the head of every elephant, and sandalwood trees are not found in every forest; similarly real devotees are not in every gathering of people who seem like devotees.”
People who dress and act like devotees but who have not become real devotees in their heart are referred to as imposters in the scriptures. Having a real change of heart means, just as a mother is always thinking lovingly about her child, a person who has had change of heart thinks about the Lord. Hence the person no longer secretly desires position, fame, material association etc, but rather yearns to think about the Lord.
