Hear the etiquette of the sacred gathering; I shall tell it, so receive it with devotion. What Govinda loves is this alone. Cymbals, instruments, song, and dance; the inner being filled with love. One who sings should be honored according to his devotion. Do not lazily stretch your limbs during the discourse or sniff about the kirtan with contempt. The one who shows disdain is a wretch. The one who chews betel, sits proudly, swollen with self-importance, and lets his mind wander from the Name while engaging others in gossip is a wretch. The one who seeks honor at the discourse, making a display of his dignity, adjusting his garments instead of listening, is a wretch. The one who sits on a cushion while making Hari's servants hold his belongings deserves to be put on the stake, in all certainty. The one who does not bow with folded hands when arriving, who does not call himself humble without being asked, and who walks over others, is a wretch. Says Tuka, I implore the people: do not bring faults into the sacred gathering. Surrender to Narayana with wholehearted devotion.
