He performs devotion, but God does not become pleased, like that. The fruit of devotion should be that God becomes pleased, that He becomes won over. But still, God does not become pleased. This one keeps doing it in vain. And he keeps doing that too. He keeps performing devotion, and he also keeps practicing jealousy and hypocrisy. He keeps practicing jealousy, hypocrisy, and deceit. He keeps blaming others, like that. Then he keeps performing devotion. God's pleasure is earned by those with pure inner intentions, not by an excess of actions. He performs an excess of devotional actions, he does a great deal. But inside, all of these are filled, like that. Then God does not become pleased. That is why Maharaj says here in this Vachanamrut that if one is a devotee of God, and performs God's discourse, singing, listening, etc., any kind of nine-fold devotion out of jealousy toward a devotee of God, then God does not become pleased with that devotion. Because the silent intention of the devotee performing devotion is not pure. One should also not perform devotion to show off to people. Even if one does so, God does not become pleased. This jiva, as it is in its heart To show off to people means practicing hypocrisy.
