विश्वगुणादर्श - भगवद्भक्तिः

भूयो दोषैरपि परिवृतः पूरुषः सात्विकानां
     प्रायः पूज्यो भवति भगवद्भक्तिमासाद्य हृद्याम् ।
आक्रांतापि प्रबलभुजगैः कंटकैरप्यनल्पैः
    किं नादृत्या सुरभिकुसुमा केतकी भाग्यभाजाम् ॥

A man may have many defects. But if he has pure devotion towards God in his heart, then even he will be revered and respected by other people. The ketaki plant is considered very sacred even when it is surrounded by poisonous snakes and big thorns.
