Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 dear friends, i have been reading a book by sri sadguru gnananda of tapovanam at thirukovilur.in that he says " rare indeed is human birth.having attained it,one should know its goal and reach it. our ancient seers and sages have shown us the path. they have revealed to us that realisation of the supreme one,the father of the universe is the purushartha or the prime aim of human life". there are many paths for achieving it. first is bhakti,to stand clinging to god. next is the path of yoga of desireless action which leads to bhakti. third comes gnana,culmination of the pursuit along the path of desireless action and clinging to him-in being one with him in bliss. each of them again follows three courses determined by three gunas or modes of prakriti or nature. in bhakti,para bhakti or higher bhakti is considered the noblest;in yoga, para yoga or higher yoga is the best;untrammelled bliss in the self is the great height of gana or knowledge. pranams cdr bvn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
