According to Hemadpant, what is the value of knowledge that isn't backed by personal experience, and how does this relate to faith?

The text emphasizes that spiritual practices and knowledge are hollow without genuine feeling and practical application. As highlighted in Chapter 14, things like "Bhajan without love" or "reading a book without meaning" are considered mere exhaustion. Specifically, the chapter states that "knowledge without experience" is akin to a forehead without a kumkum mark, implying it lacks true substance. The author, Hemadpant, urges that these are not just words of bookish knowledge and that one should weigh them with actual experience, reinforcing the idea that faith is essential, as there is no God without faith.
