In this Upanishad verse, the path of Supreme attainment was compared to a razor’s edge and it was also told that walking on a religious path is like walking on a razor edge. | |||
Now, Anandamurti observes that common people generally think that they are bereft of intellect and they are ignorant and that's why they can't travel the path, they want to know the way out.<ref name=AV /> | |||
According to Anandamurti, the way out is [[devotion]]. One must go ahead with it. Wherever there is devotion, there is [[Parama Purusa|Paramátmá]]. God is attainable only by devotion and He is always with his devotees.<ref name=AV /> | |||
