ìIf you seek happiness here as well as hereafter, listen to My words and imprint
them deeply in your heart. It is an easy and pleasant road, brethren, that of devotion to
My feet, extolled in the Puråƒas and Vedas. Gnosis is difficult to attain and beset with
numerous obstacles. The path is rugged and there is no solid ground for the mind to rest
on. Scarcely one attains it after a hard struggle; yet, lacking in Devotion, the man fails to
win My love. Devotion is independent and a mine of all blessings; men, however, cannot
attain it except through the fellowship of saints. Saints for their part are inaccessible without
a stock of merit; communion with the Lordís devotees in any case brings to an end the
cycle of births and deaths. There is only one meritorious act in this world and no otheró
to adore the feet of the Bråhmaƒas by thought, word and deed. The sages and gods are
propitious to him who guilelessly serves the twice-born (the Bråhmaƒas).î (1ó4)
