The continuous effort to reach suddha-nama is what differentiates offenders from real disciples. Offenders remain in ignorance; those who strive to become free from offenses do not. Real disciples seek appropriate instruction in the holy name’s glories and endeavor to become free from their anarthas by proper discrimination between the anarthas and the bhakti-lata-bija.
