भक्तिर् ऐकान्तिकी वेयम् अविचारात् प्रतीयते ।
वस्तुतस् तु तथा नैव यद् अशास्त्रीयतेक्ष्यते ॥१.२.१०२॥bhaktir aikāntikī veyam avicārāt pratīyate |

“This type of bhakti appears to be pure only because of misjudging the facts. Actually, it is not aikāntiki(undiverted) bhakti at all, because lack of scriptural obedience is seen in it.”
