Oh come on, dear. where am I asking you to explain theories??😊
I'm asking you a question falling entirely in the "practical" plane!!

No matter how well you travel along Karm or Gyan marg, the results are temporary, as well as maayic and thus, what exactly is the point of travelling down that long torturous road??

Bahkti, on the other hand, gives the one and only result worth attaining, and that too forever, cause you reach a place where there is no concept of time and place.

So my question, a very practical one, to you remains, how can we equate Karm or Gyan Marg with Bhakti??

"I've just repeated words of those, who talk in Yoga,walk in Yoga,sit in Yoga,who when eat or sleep is Yoga...their every activity is Yogic and they are always immersed in Yoga."

if its in Bhakti Yog these yogis you have met, remain immersed, great.
Otherwise, they need a reality chack.

Do ask such yogis the next time you meet them, what exactly they achieve even when they reach the stage of "Nirvikalp Samadhi" or "Asampragyat Samadhi"??

And whatever they experience at that stage, whether its permanent or temporary?? And also ask them whether they managed to reach that stage through Bhagvad Bhakti or through Yogic "Asanas" and exercises and contortions.

Not making this post too long, I'll remind you of what Shri Adi Shankaracharya said in "Bhaj Govindam"

"Worship Lord Govind, worship Lord Govind, worship Lord Govind. Because nothing else will be of any use to you except devotion at the Lotus Feet of Supreme Lord Shri Krishna."

As for the "Nirgun Nirvishesh Nirakaar ParBrahma" all sorts of "yogis" and "gyani babas" keep talking about, its nothing but the "Infinite Blissful Radiance" (Jyoti Swaroop ParBrahma) emanating from the Lotus Feet of Maa Sita.

And I would rather try to go and sit near the Lotus Feet of Maa Sita and Shri Raghavendra Sarkar than do all sorts of "yogic sadhanas" to reach "Nirvikalp Samadhi" merely to get a fleeting glimpse of that infinite blissful radiance of my Mother's feet. Thank You very much. 😊

You think I explained something.But I didn't!How can I?😆
I should say you're one of the 'Gyaanis' on IF'!👏Thanks for quoting from Adi Shankaracharya's 'Baja Govindam',it is one of my fav. devotional Bajans.😊

Yes,out of all Bhakti Marg is the best one.But I'm sure that all the paths are interdependent and inseparable.

ME a "Gyaani"!!!!!! 😆😆
Yes sure dear, and while we are fantasizing, Shruti Hassan loves me and kisses me day & night. 😆
But really C&F, you made me day, so thanks.

Ummm, well, anyways, let's leave it now. I got Shruti Hassan to think about now, that's infinitely more preferable. 😊
Bye bye. 😊
