In such a Triveṇī, that is, the oneness of the three guṇas is itself the dissolution of the Manas; that is what is called being free of mamakāra. Unlike this, some others, every day at the two times, perform their bath, sandhyā and the like; carry out worship, arcana and the like; put broad stripes of vibhūti, stripes of sandal paste and dots of kuṅkuma on their foreheads; wear japa-mālās around their necks and on their hands; and go to temples, or to elders, or on visits to holy places, and walk round them in pradakṣiṇa. Or they go to discourses, harikathās, pārāyaṇas and other such purāṇic pastimes, which make good use of time. Such a state and such karmas may well be called good karmas and good conduct, but not everyone who performs such karmas can be called a devotee.
