Bhakti, Yogam and Gnanam

Updated: Jan 2







Yogam:

All the life forms that evolved once returned to their origin are called Yogam. Yogam means reunion. The origin was a united entity; now, it has taken many forms and attributes. It has to be united again; he who unites is GURU.


Brahmam:

All living beings have evolved from universal energy, a scientific explanation. All living beings are creations of supreme – spiritual explanation/Vedanta explanation. Though the interpretation is different, the meaning is the same.


State of Bhakti, Yogam, Gyanam:

One person looks at the sea from a distance, another person drinks the seawater, and the third person bathes in the seawater.

In the same way, a spiritual person looks at god through Bhakti/ Devotion.

Another person who is in the state of Yogam enjoys God.

But the Third person in the state of Gyana becomes God himself.


Path of Gyana:

The path of Gyana means to accept whatever life brings.

Instead of living for the sake of others.

To live a life of realization is a spiritual life. Is this selfish? No. As long as the action is harmless to others. It is not selfish.

When an action is performed with the intention of fruit, it is Bhakti. When the action is performed as duty without the intention of fruit, it is Gyana.

The path of Gyana is the way of knowledge, love, and energy; through this, calmness and Peacefulness are attained/achieved.

For example, if a schoolchild thinks that getting good grades will reward her, this is considered Bhakti. At the same time, a research scholar will not expect this, as he studies for his sake and is rewarded. This is an advanced state called Gyana state.

To become an IAS officer (in India), one has to make an effort to reach that position. In the same way, to attain knowledge, one should prepare oneself. The effort of intellect is to achieve knowledge. The effort of others is to keep praying for the same that they want to attain. We are intellectuals. We learned that God was there, and we prayed. Now we have become researchers to find out who is god. We are also researching how to utilize supreme power. We should believe this unconditionally.


State of knowledge/intellect :

To attain self-realization (universe within us) while in the mortal world (life with 5 sense organs or outward life) is the state of knowledge. This is the state of oneness/salvation; after that, there is no birth or death, go to whence there is no return.


Salvation (Mukthi) :

A tree grown of a seed again bears flowers fruits, and ripes and becomes the seed again. In the same way, for example, in the case of a woman, she is born, blossoms into an adult, and attains motherhood; after these, there is a supreme state beyond all this: a divine state. That is whole. That is retiring from the material world.

To live a life for others is a meaningless life. Even showing Love is not for others. Affection, Grace, and Mercy are all qualities within you. And will appear through your thoughts and actions. The entire universe has evolved /been governed by love.

Love and God are not different.

Love and attraction are not different.

The path of Gyana is the root of Love.

Love is pure and impartial. A Gyani should show love.


To Know the secret of reasoning :

The color of blood in all humans is the same. However, the blood quality is identified during the blood test. How do we identify impurities of the mind? By the way of action. Life has impurities. If we examine our energy in life, we can locate it. How do we examine Life energy? The life energy that flows through the central nervous system can be brought in between the eyebrows (forehead eye), and given extensive thought, we will realize our good and bad deeds and can improve and arrange our actions accordingly. We can clarify the reasons.


The universe's appearance, dissolution, individual mind, habits, and all we see in nature are within us. By self Enthusiasm, Perseverance, and determination should work towards learning it. This needs dedication.
