Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Those who renounce their subordination and service to the spiritual master pretend to serve Krishna and chant the holy name, but they commit offenses at every step. As long as one continues to commit offenses he cannot serve Krishna or chant His holy names purely. Only the surrendered devotees engaged in Guru and Vaisnava-seva attain pure devotion by their mercy. Sri Caitanyadeva and the Gosvamis bestow mercy on those who serve guru and the Vaishnavas with love and devotion.
