clarification regarding yoga

[Guest guest]

among the karma, raja ,gyana, bhakthi yoga which one leads to ultimate bliss

if they are all same which one is easy

 

these ere the questions that haunted me for a long time and i tried almost all

of them

each of them gave intense pleasure of satisfaction and each had almost the same

effect but after discovering gynana is unlimited and it's quest can never be

completed as there are so many scripts and in so many langauges.but i started

seeing some common points in them like god is just one almighty power with many

rays,images and vibrations that are concieved by indivdualls regarding to thier

perception level

 

every-one finally says kneal before him as he is all powerful

and for different wishes and purposes you have different dieties and worships

 

bhakthi on other hand helps to be with god by making your body a devise for

service(bhajana,aarthi,japa,tapa all are done by and need body) and mind to

concentrate and become part of him or atlest come close to him

 

raja yoga ,which i am now trying to follow presently after persuing above, is

much more tough for me

it needs to be practiced by being a family man and remaining a heretic at heart

 

karma yoga was the step for me before raja yoga . doing the deeds without

expecting anything was good but detention from work was not always easy as we

expect to get the work done proerly to get the result in our favour but hen i

stated doing things thinking them as my duty for society and god it became easy.

just did work in a way i could best do taking ny advice that came by after just

giving it a thought .

To succeed in Yoga, you need a balance of all these, as you are finding out

kmavillaji.

 

Just remember:

 

1. Gyan Yoga is not just reading of scriptures, & understanding them at an

intellectual level. They must become a part of you. If you say God is

everything, you must not cry when you lose everything, including any spiritual

progress you have made.

 

2. Bhakti Yoga is not just fanatical worship of 1 deity to detriment of all

others. Like Gyan Yoga, it is a state of being where one sees one istha devtaa

in everyone & everything, just like in Gyan Yoga one sees the power of

conciousness behind everything.

 

3. Karma Yoga is not just mechanical doing of what we think is our Karma- it is

the acceptance that whatever path a higher force has chosen for us is the best,

& we have to follow it willingly & with cheer, not because we are forced to.

 

Raja/Hatha Yoga are the practical means to implement the 3 Yogas above, If you

getting calm mind/good nights sleep/healthy body etc(which is how Yoga is

marketed), but not the above 3, then you are doing somethin wrong.

Divine Friend, Karma (selfless work), Gyaana(Divine knowledge) and Bhakti

(Devotion) yogas illustrated in Shrimad Bhagavad Gita are true ways of life,

thinking and worship to lead spiritual life. Each one is complete in itself and

still related to each other for realization of Self as well as the God. These

are above all religions, faiths and any other differences of opinions. Any one

in this Universe can acquire complete knowledge of particular God, do one's work

for self and others in the society selflessly with any discrimination or grudge(

pride & prejudice). One can devote one's life for religion / faith with love and

compassion to all with perception of equality and godliness in every one. After

all, though we are not brothers and sisters of each other by relation of blood

but by relation of a fact that our creator father is one. This establishes

universal brotherhood & sisterhood under divine fatherhood of The God. This is

real devotion. To see onself in all beings and all beings in onself widens the

scope of thinking to reduce discrimination for castes, colours, creeds, nations

and all. The whole gloge is one village and more to say one abode of all.

Thanks and regards.
