"The conceptions of purity and impurity and proper and improper codes of conduct are accepted by the daiva and asura varnasrama systems in different ways. A Vaisnava does not subscribe to any activity that hinders his spiritual life. The worldly smartas simply consider the purity and impurity of objects. Since they have no spiritual knowledge at all, whatever standards they establish may not necessarily be accepted by transcendentalists. It is not logical to try to place the smartas and Vaisnavas on equal level, because their behavior and activities are different."
