“Jnana marga is like Ramphal. Bhakthi marga is like Sitaphal (custart apple), easy to deal with and very sweet. The pulp of Ramphal is inside and difficult to get at. Ramphal should ripen on the tree and plucked ripe, If it falls down it is spoilt. So if a Jnani falls, he is ruined. Even for a Jnani there is the danger of a fall, i. e., by a little negligence or carelessness.”

Sai Baba of Shirdi (1836–1918) Hindu and muslim saint

He lends us; but when love is grown
To ripeness, that on which it throve
Falls off, and love is left alone.”
