So long a human being remains absorbed in worldly attractions and pleasures, he cannot know love. So long his attention is focused on something else, he cannot realize self.

(Renouncing Lord) as long as one is busy acquiring knowledge of mundane worldly things, he remains bereft of spiritual wisdom. As long as one remains involved in worldly pleasures one cannot hear the unstruck celestial music of divine word.

As long as one remains proud and arrogant, one cannot realise self. Till such time True Guru does not initiate a person with the boon of Lord's name and propitiate the Lord, one cannot realise the 'formless God'.

The knowledge of Almighty lies in the consecrating words of the True Guru that leads one to reality of His name and form. By uniting his mind with His name, the Lord who prevails in various forms gets revealed. (12)
