In spiritual life one must remain humble , respectful and tollerant, without doing so one can offend , the result is not having the faith that’s required to take one on the journeys of trancendance, faith carries one a long way , and another effect is one cannot hear trancendental messages when others speak them or have any conviction in the process of sastra sanga .The acaryas warn of the consequences of pride and how it delays the journey.

The complete journey is delineated by the six Goswami’s who were personally taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It must be followed to completion, nothing added or subtracted or speculated upon .
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami is his purport to 1.1.2 Srimad Bhagavatam says .

“But the devotees of the Lord rise above such competitions. They do not compete with the materialist because they are on the path back to Godhead where life is eternal and blissful. Such transcendentalists are nonenvious and pure in heart. In the material world, everyone is envious of everyone else, and therefore there is competition. But the transcendental devotees of the Lord are not only free from material envy, but are well-wishers to everyone, and they strive to establish a competitionless society with God in the centre. The contemporary socialist’s conception of a competitionless society is artificial because in the socialist state, there is competition for the post of dictator.”
