साधुसंगमसच्छास्त्रपरतैवात्र कारणम् ।
साधनं बाधनं मोहजालस्य यदकृत्रिमम् ॥ ५ ॥

sādhanaṃ bādhanaṃ mohajālasya yadakṛtrimam || 5 ||

Fondness for the society of the righteous and devotedness to the study of good books, are the best means of divine knowledge; while ritual services and practices, serve only to strengthen the snare of our in-born delusions, which true knowledge alone can sever.
