Passage 12

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

One must become a devotee of God, with firm faith that the doer, the karma and the action all rest on Paramātma; one must never, never become a devotee of wealth, of wife and the like, of sons and the like. Where there is abhimāna, one cannot claim there is Bhakti for God. ‘Bhakti’ is like the pure ‘Gaṅgā’; ‘karma’ is like the ‘Yamunā’; ‘Jñāna’ is like the ‘Sarasvatī’, which flows hidden; it is not visible outside. The confluence of these three is called the “Triveṇī”.
