Shatanand explains that Bhakti is the very cause of Mukti (salvation) and is a part of Gnaan (knowledge). Also Dharma is the support of Bhakti and therefore Bhakti should always be practised with the aid of Dharma. In Shrimad Bhagwat, it is often explained that Bhakti and Dharma are always together and thus inseparable. Those that live in accordance with Swadharma (personal duty) and who perform Bhakti or devotion to God, develop peace of mind and inevitably attain salvation. Such people achieve the greatest goal. Lord Swaminarayan here points out a very important aspect of Bhakti. Although Bhakti is devotion and love for God, it is however not the greatest path to God, if practised alone. Bhakti must be practised with Dharma, as its base. Often we may consider ourselves to be 'Bhaktas' content in our devotion to God. However we may lack the essential basis of duty in our lives and care not for the laws governing what we can and cannot do. We must live a Dharmic Jivan as well as a Bhaktatmic Jivan.
