This great literature is likened to a lantern that illuminates the path for the practitioner of bhakti (bhakti-sadhaka). There is no scope for even the slightest doubt about this. By practically following this sacred text, the non-duplicitous practitioner will certainly be able to perceive his own stage of bhakti, his deficiencies therein, and what further actions he must take to advance along the path of bhakti. Moreover, an increasing ability and inclination will awaken in his heart to advance in the kingdom of bhakti.
