1. Insensitivity in expressing devotion can alienate others
   The text explains that bhakti (devotion) becomes disruptive when shared with intolerance or over-enthusiasm—such as dismissing all other paths or forcing unrealistic expectations on others. Instead, teachings like those in the Bhagavad Gita encourage gradual, respectful guidance that uplifts rather than agitates.

2. Irrational devotion can lead to blind faith and exploitation
   When devotion rejects reason entirely, it becomes vulnerable to manipulation by political or religious figures. The article stresses that true devotion is “trans-rational,” meaning it includes reason as a guiding tool rather than abandoning it.

3. Irresponsibility in the name of devotion disrupts society and personal duty
   The piece criticizes pseudo-renunciation—abandoning worldly duties prematurely under the label of spirituality. The Bhagavad Gita instead teaches that real spiritual growth involves fulfilling responsibilities with detachment, not escaping them, ensuring harmony between devotion and social duty.
