Muktabai said
Singing in praise of Lord Panduranga, hearing His glory, meditating on Him always, worshipping Him, visiting the temple and having His darshan are the stepping stones to moksha. Only that intelligent man who has unflinching devotion to Lord Shri Vitthala, the Supreme Person, becomes wise and will be redeemed of earthly bonds. One who has got good deeds to his credit in the previous births can attain divine knowledge that destroys the earthly sorrows, with the help of his devotion to Lord Hari and unfaltering renunciation. With that knowledge and wisdom, he destroys all evils of the earthly life and with the grace of Lord Shri Panduranga, attains multi. Hence on any account, you do take refuge in Lord Shri Panduranga, the unbounded ocean of mercy, and get rid of all earthly bonds.
