MEANING:O Rama, we do not know the path of devotion!
Men in this whole world only roam about, unconsciously, unaware of the path of devotion.

They get up at dawn, and speedily take a holy dip, put on ‘vibhuti’ and count the beads appearing to be spiritual and religious, while the mind devises schemes to make money by hook or crook.
