B.G 9.30 to 33
अपि चेत् सुदुराचारो भजते मामनन्यभाक्। साधुरेव स मन्तव्यः सम्यग् व्यवसितो हि सः ॥३०॥
Even if one is extremely ill-behaved, if he worships Me with exclusive devotion, he is to be considered saintly, for he is rightly resolved.
क्षिप्रं भवति धर्मात्मा शश्वच्छान्तिं निगच्छति। कौन्तेय प्रतिजानीहि न मे भक्तः प्रणश्यति ॥३१॥
He quickly becomes righteous and attains eternal peace; O son of Kunti, understand conclusively that My devotee never perishes.
मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः। स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम् ॥३२॥
Even those of sinful birth - women, merchants, and labourers, if they take refuge in Me, O Arjuna, they too attain the supreme destination.
किं पुनर्ब्राह्मणाः पुण्या भक्ता राजर्षयस्तथा। अनित्यमसुखं लोकमिमं प्राप्य भजस्व माम् ॥३३॥
What to speak then of virtuous Brahmins and royal sages who are devoted? Having attained this impermanent and joyless world, worship Me.
Gīta Bhāshya 9.30 to 33
The Lord devotees generally does not misbehave. But because of unwinding of karma, temporarily he may misbehave.
न भवत्येव प्रायः तद् भक्तः सुदुराचारः। तथापि बहुपुण्येन यदि कथञ्चित् भवति तर्हि साधुरेव स मन्तव्यः ॥३०॥
Generally, a devotee does not become extremely ill-behaved; yet, because of excessive merit, somehow, he does, even then he is to be considered saintly.
