<a id="line-1"></a>ज्ञान बिना हो भगति पै, भगति बिना नहिं ज्ञान ।  
<a id="line-2"></a>भगति बिना हो ज्ञान जो, लावत उर अभिमान ॥४७॥

Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - भक्ति को ज्ञान की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं है। किंतु ज्ञान को भक्ति  
<a id="line-4"></a>की परमावश्यकता है। क्योंकि बिना भक्ति के ज्ञान अभिमानवर्धक होता है।  
<a id="line-5"></a>मोक्ष प्राप्ति की बात तो स्वप्नवत्‌ है।

<a id="line-6"></a>Gyȧn binȧ ho bhagaṭi pai, bhagaṭi binȧ nahiṇ gyȧn.  
<a id="line-7"></a>Bhagaṭi binȧ ho gyȧn jo, lȧvaṭ ur abhimȧn. [47]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>Bhakti (devotion) does not require gyan, but the practice of gyan  
<a id="line-9"></a>necessarily needs bhakti to receive the Divine knowledge. If  
<a id="line-10"></a>one tries to receive Divine knowledge without bhakti, it will  
<a id="line-11"></a>develop a false sense of pride. (The talk of liberation is a  
<a id="line-12"></a>farfetched dream.)
