"Moreover, a person should very firmly maintain both the knowledge of God's greatness as well as the knowledge of the ãtmã coupled with vairãgya. He should also feel fulfilled by realising, 'Now I have no deficiencies remaining.' With this understanding, he should constantly offer bhakti to God. Having said this though, he should not get carried away in the elation of this understanding. Nor should he feel unfulfilled. If he does feel unfulfilled, then the blessings that have been showered upon him by God can be considered as not having germinated - like a seed sown in saline soil. Conversely, if he gets carried away and begins to behave waywardly, then that is like having thrown a seed into a fire, which burns it. Therefore, if one understands as I have explained, then no form of deficiency will remain whatsoever."
 

[Gadhadã I-25]
