"Yoga, sacrifices, charities, study of the Vedas, cannot compare even in the smallest measure with devotion for Thee. Thy devotees attain various kinds of Siddhis. Although Thy devotee does not become meek in his ignorance, still Thou blessest him. Only devotion for Thee, can carry one across the sea of troubles and lead to final beatitude.—40-42
