Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why does good character matter for my bhajan and prayer to bear fruit?
Character is the pot that holds your bhajan
If your character is not right, nothing else you do will work out. A person of good character gains even from chanting Radha-Radha ten times, so look after your character first.
Like a pot with no hole: pour even one drop and it stays, add another and it accumulates. If there is a hole, even handfuls poured in will drain out.
