A person who understands by awakening of conscience in the matter of falsity and miserableness of this material world, either by awakening of his ownself or by hearing from other and thus goes away from home depending fully on the Personality of Godhead residing within one's heart,-is certainly the first class human being.

So there are three classes of transcendentalists namely. 1. The Dheera or the one who is not disturbed being away from the family association, 2. The renounced order of life or Sannyasi by frustrational sentiment and 3. A sincere devotee of the Lord who awakens God-consciousness by hearing and chanting and thus leaves home depending completely on the Personality of Godhead who resides in his heart. The idea is that renouncend order of life after a frustrational life of sentiment of the material world may be the stepping stone on the path of self-realistion; but real perfection of such path of liberation is attained when one is practised to depend fully on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Who lives in everyone's heart as Paramatama. One may live in the darkest jungle alone out of home but a steadfast devotee knows very well that he is not alone. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is with him and He can protect His sincere devotee from any awkward circumstances out of home. One should therefore practise the devotional service at home hearing and chanting of the holy Name, Quality, Form, Pastimes, Entourage etc by association of pure devotees and this practice will help him awakening of God-consciousness porportionately of one's sincerity of purpose. One who desires material benefit by such devotional activities can never depend on the Supreme Personality of Godhead although He sits in everyone's heart. Neither the Lord gives any direction to such persons who worship Him for material gain. Such a materialistic devotee may be blessed by the Lord with material benefits but such devotee cannot reach to the stage of the first class human-being as above mentioned. There are many examples of such sincere devotees in the history of the world, especially in India, and they are our guides on the path of self-realisation. Mahatama Vidura is one of such great devotees of the Lord and we may all try to follow his lotus foot-prints in the matter of self realisation.
