Dadu Charitam. Vol III Book VII Chp 19 Shlokas 3 - 5
जन्मनैव महाशुद्धो मायामोहविवर्जितः |
ज्ञानवैराग्यसम्युक्तो भक्तिमान् जायते क्वचित् ||
तं विज्ञाय महात्मानं श्रीविष्णोराज्ञया भुवम् |
अवतीर्णं वैष्णवं तु मुमुक्षुः शरणं व्रजेत् ||
दुर्लभो वैष्णवा लोके कामक्रोधविवर्जिताः |
शान्त्यादिगुणसंयुक्ता हरिध्यानपरायणाः ||
A bhakta, with innate piety of heart, wisdom and detachment and freedom from the bonds of illusion and desires, is born very rarely on this earth. One should identify such a noble man who is born on this earth as a vaishnava at the command of Shri Vishnu. And one should surrender at his feet with an ardent desire to gain salvation. Such vaishnavas who are rid of lust and anger are endowed with noble qualities like poise and calm, and have dedicated their entire life to Hari dhyana are very rare to find in this world.
