Even the sinful activities of the material world will subside sooner
but the offences to the devotees of the Lord will destroy the creeper
of devotion completely. Intentional or unintentional, the offence has
its effect. In the case of Bharata Maharaj it's residual effect of
some accidental offence to a Vaishnava which came in the form of his
attachment to deer. He left the entire kingdom what is difficulty to
leave a deer?
Even in Bhava stage it's effect is experienced as weakening of faith
in the process of Devotional Service and the Lord.
