Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Dear ones, This question is very tricky because the words which are used have definations and as for as spirituality is concerned definations may give uncertain details. First of all I would like to say all the four routes reach to Nirvana at the end. Only they take much or less time depending upon the availability of the person to accomodate the qualities of the universal soul. 1.Gyani- Gyani basically has the foundation is his mind what is god,what is yoga and the philosophy behind it. He is more or less using his intelligence to clarify the doubts and concreting the beliefs in the mind with respect to godlyness. Once the mind is convinced that the soul is different from the mind,the mind lavitates up towards "Turiya" and he starts experiensing pleasure and slowly the person turns towards "Nirvana". The gyana marga needs highly intelligent people since its based on intelligence of mind. It is sort of seeking the truth using the mind only.They may reach "Nirvana"depending upon their intelligence to erase the doubts. 2.Yogi uses his intelligence as well as the power of kundalini to lavitate the mind towards "NIrvana". The yoga path is sure way to "Nirvana"yet it has physical and mental difficultis.A pure mind can very easily absorb the power of Kundlini but impurity leads to faulire of the person in the way.Yoga with Bhakti is the perfect combination for spirituality. Only Yogi gets nirvana with total decepline. 3.Karma yogi involves godliness in all the work he is doing.This generates the godly awareness in him and he reach upto the godly level.NIrvana in karmayoga is very latter stage.Karmayoga takes long time to reach the godlyness.New impressions(sanskaras) of karmas are not generated and the person remains untouched.Yet is needs to clear old sanskaras, bhakti. 4.Bhakti leads the bhakta to a particular godlyness whom the devotee worships.This is like karma yoga only. They reach at the level of the godhood and if wished can reach to "Nirvana" The topmost goal of all the routes is self realisation only. --- who_make_sense <who_make_sense wrote: > what is the top most Goal which can be achived by > > 1) Gyani > 2) Yogi > 3) Karmi > 4) Bhakta > > Please send in your opinion....... > > who_make_sense > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
