difficult to grasp and difficult to achive through practice. And if by chance one succeeds in
attaining it, there are many impediments in the way of preserving it. (118 A-B)

The path of wisdom is like the edge of a sword : one is apt to fall from it very soon,
O king of the birds. He alone who successfully treads it attains to the supreme state of
final emancipation. But this supreme state of final beatitude is most difficult to attain, so
declare the saints as well as the Puråƒas, Vedas and Ågamas (Tantras). By worshipping
›r∂ Råma, my lord, the same beatitude comes unsolicited even against our will. Water
cannot stay except on land notwithstanding our best efforts; even so, mark you, O king
of the birds, the joy of final beatitude cannot stay apart from Devotion to ›r∂ Hari.
Realizing this, the wise devotees of ›r∂ Hari spurn final emancipation and remain
enamoured of Devotion. By practising Devotion ignorance, which is the root of
metempsychosis, is eradicated without any effort or exertion, in the same way as we eat
for our own gratification but the gastric fire digests the food so eaten (without any effort
on our part). What fool is there who does not welcome such Devotion to ›r∂ Hari, which
is so easy and delightful at the same time?
