	Uttis't'hata ja'grata pra'pya bara'n nibodhata,
	Ks'urasyadha'ra nishita' duratyaya'
	Durgam' pathasta't kavayo vadanti.

	This path of supreme attainment is said to be a path like a razor's edge. To tread the path of Dharma is to move on the razor's edge. Ordinary people might say that they are bereft of intellect, that they are ignorant; how can they move on the razor's edge? Again they would like to know the way out, and the way out is devotion.

	Work with devotion, go ahead with it. Wherever there is devotion, there is Parama'tma'. For jina'niis (those who want to realise God only with intellect) and logicians, the path of Dharma is a razor's path, but, for sa'dhakas (spiritual practitioners), it is like a flower. Since God is attainable only by devotion, therefore He is with you. Victory will certainly be yours.
