32—33. On the part of a man whose mind is but one, *i.e.*, is firmly in that one course without being liable to change, Bhakti is the natural and unconditional devotion to the glorious Lord—the devotion which consists in settling the mind only upon Satva, *i.e.*, Hari, the root of all existence, and of all Indriyas (and their presiding deities), which have to discharge the duties laid down by the Veda ; and that Bhakti is superior to Mukti itself, for it makes the vesture (of *Lingadeha*) decay soon, even as the fire in the stomach digests the food that is devoured.
