Narada Bhakti Sutra 76-79(chapter 8, section 2)
Bhakti Doctrines should be contemplated upon
& their wisdom should be practised
Waiting for a propitious time
when pleasure, profits and the likes
dont trouble you
even half a moment should not be wasted
non-violence, truthfullness, cleanliness
faith & such virtues should be cultivated
always in all aspects free from anxiety
God alone is to be invoked

No wisdom- from the Heart Sutra
“THERE IS NO WISDOM AND THERE IS NO ATTAINMENT WHATSOEVER“
There is nothing in this world that can be said to be permanent. Not the world itself, not the body and not even the mind. Wisdom or knowledge is in the terrain of the mind. If the mind itself is said to be temporary than it cannot be in the domain of the truth. As truth cannot be admitted to be temporary. Only that which is permanent can be said to be the truth.
The body cannot attain the truth, the mind cannot grasp the truth by it’s very nature of impermanance, how can a transitory entity touch that which is permanent. The clouds appear to be in the sky, But can the clouds affect the sky or touch the sky. The clouds gather and disperse But the sky remains, unaffected. Such is the nature of truth. There can be knowledge of this truth, as knowledge is a tool of the mind.
Mind is dismissed, hence knowledge is dismissed, the concept of attainment is dismissed. What remains Is.
