Distinguishing The Truly Righteous From The 'Religious'

There are many, many people who act religiously, but are not righteous, and use their religious behavior to distract others. Religious behavior or superficial goodness, is not a reliable indicator that a person is truly righteous. The only reliable indicator that is available, is a person's fundamental behavior. Therefore when you see someone who acts religiously or seems very good in his surface behavior, ignore what you see, and just stare at the person's fundamental behavior. Remember, it is fundamental behavior which reliably tells the truth about a person, and it is fundamental behavior which you must depend on, to form a correct opinion about that person.
