39.	महत्सङ्गस्तु दुर्लभोऽगम्योऽमोघश्च॥	Now, association with the great is hard to get, difficult to realise, though most invaluable.	The company of holy persons is difficult to attain as well as understand, and never fails to produce the result.	The company of the great ones is, again difficult of attainment, is unapproachable and always beneficial.
40.	लभ्यतेऽपि तत्कृपयैव॥	Nevertheless, it is attainable, and that through His grace only.	It (holy company) can be obtained through His grace alone.	The company of the Great ones is obtained by the Grace of God alone.
41.	तस्मिंस्तज्जने भेदाभावात्॥	For there is no distinction between Him and His devotees.	This is because God and His devotees are non-different.	Because there is no difference between the Lord and His devotee.
42.	तदेव साध्यताम्, तदेव साध्यताम्॥	That alone should be sought out, that alone should be sought out.	Attain that (holy company) alone without fail.	Try to get love of God alone, try to get love of God alone.
