#24 Kavi - A Devotee Is A Poet

"One may serve his country, people and society, the varnasrama-dharma system, the sick, the poor, the rich, the women, the demigods, and so on. All this service comes under the heading of sense gratification, or enjoyment in the material world. It is most unfortunate that people are more or less attracted by such material activity and that the leaders of these activities are accepted as mahajanas, great ideal leaders. Actually they are only misleaders, but an ordinary man can not understand how he is being misled."

[Cc. Madhya 17.186 - purport]
