The king depends upon the subjects for his revenue.
The subjects depend upon the king for their protec-
tion, water supply, sanitation, lighting and medical
aid. This is also a case of mutual dependence. Even
so devotion depends upon knowledge and knowledge
upon devotion.
In the Gita you will find: "Sradhavan labhyate
gyanam the man who is full of faith obtained wis-
dom." Ch. IV-39.

"Tesham satata yuktanam bhajatam

Dadami buddhi yogam tam yena
maamupayantite."
"To these, ever harmonious (worshipping in love)
I give the Yoga of discrimination by which they come
unto Me." Ch. X-10.
"By devotion he knoweth Me in essence, who
and what I am; having thus known Me in essence
he forthwith entereth into the Supreme."-Ch. XVIII-
55.
