Bhakti Yoga !!!

[Guest guest]

Three main faculties of self viz. Body, Intelligence and Heart

(emotional part of mind), play a vital role in attaining Moksha.

 

Those who are more centred on body take the path of karma Yoga and

attain salvation, those with sharp intellect & Logics go for Gyan

(Jnana) yoga and those with heart opt for Bhakti.

 

Most of our intellectual friends, see Bhakti as a lower form of

religious path and normally are away from Bhakti and bhakta both.

They can not be fully blamed for this, as the bhakta in the

beginning do not show higher signs of progress and are normally

fanatics about their deity.

 

But Bhakti,when develops into divine love, a Bhakta ceases to be

fanatic and sees his deity in all forms of god. It is easy for any

average brained person to become Gyani by reading some books and

listening to discourses, but it is not possible to be a bhakta by

reading or practicing.

 

Bhakti develops itself from within. Divine love itself takes form of

immense love for God and changes a common girl into Mirabai. this

divine love transforms a common weaver into Kabir, a normal shop-

keeper boy into Guru Nanak and a helpless blind in great Bhakta

Surdas, a school-dropout into a nobel prize winner Rabindra Nath

Tagore and a shepherd into Jesus Christ.

 

 

So those who have received this inner divine love developed, are far

more better than a dry intellectual who has read thousands of books

on God. We can with our Samkalpa become gyani or karam yogi or

Hathha yogi, but we can not become a Bhakta by mere samkalpa,

because a Bhakta is the one who is chosen by God himself for his

love.

 

In Gyaneshawari Geeta Krishna tells, " Though all path equally reach

me, but It is a Bhakta who is really loving to me. I do his Karma, I

feed him, I take him on my shoulders and dance with joy, I show him

my Universe by taking him in my lap. He is away from all sins and

all wraths of nature. a Bhakta lives in me and I live in Him. "

 

Kabir has written " Pothhi Pad Pad jag Muaa, Pandit Bhaya na koye----

Dhai Aakhar Prem ke, pade so pandit hoye " those reading thick books,

never become Pandit (learned), only 2 and half words of Love are

sufficient to become a Gyani.

 

Mirabai, Soordas, Tulsidas, Hanuman, Kabir, guru Nanak, christ

Paramhamnsa are some of the bhaktas of our times.we may take their

examples and see how divine love changed their lives.

 

Memebrs are urged to post on Bhakti in more details so that we

understand what a real Bhakti is and give a confirmation that Bhakti

is not a path of less intellectuals but a Great path of God's lovers.
