Neophyte is Neophyte

Prabhupada cut him off. "Neophyte is neophyte. Why do you bring him to become a devotee? A devotee is different. A 'one plus one equal to two,' he's not mathematician, he's learning. There is hope one day he'll be a big mathematician. There are three stages: kanistha-adhikari, madhyama-adhikari, uttama-adhikari. So when you speak of devotee, that is this uttama-adhikari, so he knows everything..." - From the "A Transcendental Diary Vol 3" by HG Hari Sauri dasa
