Without true knowledge, such means or practices are futile. Akha says that no real give and take, meaning no genuine benefit or exchange, holds sway in them.

Akha Bhagat reminds us that merely performing actions or using spiritual tools without true understanding is futile. Imagine having all the right ingredients for a recipe but no knowledge of how to cook; the food won't turn out well. Similarly, without genuine wisdom or inner light, our efforts, even good ones, won't bring about real transformation or benefit. It’s like a transaction where nothing truly exchanges hands – no real growth, no deep insight. So, the essence is to seek knowledge first, letting it illuminate our path and make our practices meaningful and fruitful.
