[A question by Smt. Chhanda]
Swami replied:- There are several scholars standing as examples for this concept. Even though spiritual knowledge is completed, devotion can be absent. The reason is that the spiritual knowledge is either incomplete or defective even if completed. If the spiritual knowledge is complete without any defect, it shall certainly develop devotion leading the soul to practice, which is the final step. These scholars are unable to practice the spiritual knowledge and hence, the middle link, the devotion is not generated. Fearing the practice, a scholar doesn’t become a devotee. If the soul fears to practice the knowledge, he is not having full faith. The lack of faith is due to defective or incomplete spiritual knowledge and for this, both the preacher and student are responsible due to their immature brains. The brains of both the preacher and the disciple must be fully fertile.
