The Four Sinners-The Four Saints
In the Bhagavad-gita Krishna explains the four types of persons who
reject Him, as well as the four types of persons who approach Him.
The types that reject Him are: 1. The man who works like an ass and
tries to enjoy like one, forgetting God completely, 2. Someone who is
not even civilized enough to think of God, 3. Someone who is caught up
in the pursuit of mundane knowledge, and 4. The out and out atheist
who is determined never to worship God and attempts to convert others
to his view point..
God is approached by those: 1. Desiring relief from distress, 2.
Desiring knowledge, 3. Desiring wealth or other material benefits, and
4. Who are inquisitive or curious. Of course these are mixed.motives,
but ultimately one will be purified of these if one sticks to the
spiritual path.
"Pure love of God" means that one simply wants to please God, and one
is ready to sacrifice his own happiness to accomplish this end. When
one feels this way, he experiences the greatest happiness. Pure love
of God is the greatest gift that God can give.
