So if we say that we should just focus on practicing Bhakti then we may just neglect the some attachments or some conditioning that need to be addressed and we may just rationalize I am chanting Hare Krishna everything is alright yes that danger is there definitely there are two different things over here there are some anarthas of ours which affect only us say if I tend to overeat, I tend to oversleep that doesn’t affect too many other people ultimately everything affects but it is a very small thing but there are some anarthas which have much greater consequences if say somebody is somebody is embezzling money in the community somebody is having an extramarital relationship or something like that, that is a much bigger thing and that has bigger consequences for the whole community and that sort of thing has to be very strongly addressed so when I am talking about it is primarily our own individual battle against our conditionings which are which we need not obsess too much over that but if there are certain actions which are having bigger consequences for everyone then that cannot be rationalized then yes whoever is that is happening for them also it is a struggle to give it up yes it may be a struggle whatever it is but then such a person cannot be cannot be in a position of influence or leadership so it is important to recognize that even among anarthas or even among whatever lapses are there there are degrees or there are there are kinds and especially something which is primarily my battle with my conditioning it is not really affecting everyone too much in that if there are lapses that is not a major thing but that is something which we can battle and we can get over it but if something is affecting a bigger community then at that time strong actions are required does it address your question?
