Cheating and preaching implies almost the same meaning at present
Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmīpada wrote in the Sandharbas that there are two types of vaktās (speakers), “vaktā saraga niraga divido parikīrtitā” means there are two types of speakers of hari-kathā. One such devotee is “saraga.” He still has some kama, lust, or etc. in his heart but can still speak hari-kathā. The other kind is “niraga.” This personality has no material desires remaining in his heart. The vyāsāsana should only be occupied by a niraga vaktā who has no demand for name, fame, position, money, honor and etc.) we should not allow a saraga vaktā to sit on the vyāsāsana to speak hari-kathā because he is contaminated. Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī gave clear instructions that we should not allow a preacher with such mundane desires to sit on the vyāsāsana. Of course those who want to be cheated will be cheated very easily by them.
Bhagavān surely cannot accept any kind of impure bhakti.

Arcā-bhoga-ceṣṭā (Attempt to enjoy Dieties of Lord)
What the worldly marketplace of so-called religion refers to as bhakti, is often nothing but a veiled enterprise of ārcā-bhoga—a pursuit of sense gratification under the disguise of diety worship: “I shall adorn Ṭhākur (the Deity), and by doing so, I shall fulfill the longings of my own senses, and provide visual delight for others too. People will exclaim, ‘Ah! How exquisite is the attire and ornamentation of this gentleman’s Ṭhākur!’” — Such a motive, rooted in hidden self-enjoyment, transforms the act of decorating the Lord into a gesture of bhoga (enjoyment) rather than sevā (service).

Prārthanā Rasa–Vivritti(প্রার্থনা রস–বিবৃত্তি)
The prayers of Śrīla Narottama Dāsa Ṭhākura are particularly precious for those who tread the path of rāgānugā-bhakti, as they embody the raw, unfiltered longing for divine service that characterizes the highest expressions of devotion. His words are not mere poetic compositions but the outcry of a heart consumed by the flames of separation, yearning for entrance into the eternal, loving pastimes of the Divine Couple in Vṛndāvana.
