Question: What is the difference between a vaiṣṇava and a pure vaiṣṇava?

Guru Maharaj: Anyone who chants one time, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Is a vaiṣṇava. But a pure vaiṣṇava is, that you are not doing karma miśra bhakti, devotion mixed with fruitive activities. I am not saying ashudha, I am saying karma miśra or gyana miśra bhakti. How can a vaiṣṇava be ashudha? But we want pure devotion. That gives love of Kṛṣṇa. And karma miśra bhakti may give, like heavenly planets or some fruitive benefits. Gyana mixed bhakti may give like, impersonal liberation. We want pure bhakti.
