88. An unused constructive mind tends to destruct itself.
89. Walking the path of j~nAna without bhakti is like raising children without any love.
90. bhakta without j~nAna is akin to a pampered child.

That rings a bell -
sangita gnAnamu bhaktivinA sanmArgamu galade - said Shri Tyagaraja. I think you can pretty much make out.
He also sang gnAna mosaga rAda ...
I see quite some ppl in our generation walking the middlepath. Should we hope for the end, or is it like the cliche "The joy is in the journey". And, middlepath - you know how it is! gnAna mosaga rAda - will you not grant me wisdom oh Krishna!
Thx for your comment.
There is surely joy in the journey, as also journey is its own reward... till the end is reached. Middle-path doesn't guarantee moksha for sure, but it lets you reach the end. The end may be returning to the world-- the pravRtti mArga-- be it with success or without it, or the nivRtti mArga.
PS: I'd be surprised to know if there are many who give up the world these days and take to the middle path. There are karma yogis though, agreed. (Middle-path here, as I define, is to involve in the world *only* as much as to ensure your nivRtti mArga in the future. :)
