The Lord who is highly inaccessible, infinite, light effulgent and beyond comprehension, cannot be reached by controlling the senses with all available means.
अगम अपार देव अलख अभेव अति अनिक जतन करि निग्रह न पाईऐ ।
He cannot even be realised through holding/performing of Yag, hom (offerings to fire god), holding of feast for holy men, nor through Raj Yog. He cannot be reached through playing of musical instruments nor recitation of Vedas.
पाईऐ न जग भोग पाईऐ न राज जोग नाद बाद बेद कै अगहु न गहाईऐ ।
Such God of gods can also not be reached by visiting places of pilgrimage, celebrating days considered auspicious or by the service of gods. Even fasts of myriad kind cannot even bring Him closer. Contemplations are futile as well.
तीरथ पुरब देव देव सेवकै न पाईऐ करम धरम ब्रत नेम लिव लाईऐ ।
All the methods of God-realisation are of no use. He can only be realised by singing His paeans in the company of holy men and meditating on Him with concentrated and singular mind. (304)
निहफल अनिक प्रकार कै अचार सबै सावधान साधसंग हुइ सबद गाईऐ ।३०४।
