"To say that the genuine, pure-hearted vraja-bhakti-bhajananandi is selfishly bent on his own bliss, personal benefit, or comfort zone would be akin to declaring that the gosthy-anandi preacher is primarily engaged as such to secure for himself either the spiritual beatitude; the ego-gratifying daksina, honor, and reputation; or the sheer adventure personally plundered from his burlesque preaching extravaganzas. One might exhaustively harp and harp about the hypocritical, cheap, imitative imposters of either ilk, but that should never ascribe any improbity to the truly sincere. Negation of the nonessential in no way suggests a need to negate the essential. In either authentic case, we should be prepared to acknowledge the primary focus on the actual sincere service endeavor as distinct from its pleasurable or remunerative side effects – “eating to live” as opposed to “living to eat.”
