Veda, Shastra, Purana, Ithihas, Mantra-tantravidya, Smriti-jaran-maran (using the the power of doing miracles by the devotees of Shiva and shakti) and other various sciences put one in illusion Without knowing the gist of devotion to Guru, people perform sacrifices, observe penance, vrat, charity, recitation and go to the holy places but only after the rise of the light of Shri Guru, difficult vidya, worldly illusion and ignorance are all wiped off. By serving Shri Guru, all sins perish and the soul becomes pure and united with Brahma.
