If one tries to do something on the spontaneous platform but actually doesn’t have spontaneous love for the Lord, the Lord will never accept it, because on the spontaneous platform there is no reverence towards the Lord. On the spontaneous platform one may even act in a way that is contrary to scriptural injunctions. So if someone acts contrary to scriptural injunctions but he or she is not on the spontaneous platform of love of Godhead, then that is an offense to the Lord.
