Sri Gomu's paragraphs capture the essence of Gynana Marga

as given by Bhagavan Sri Ramana's Upadesa, very nicely.

 

Bhagavan Sri Ramana's Upadesa in the 30 verses of Upadesa Saram

summarize the four yoga margas as follows:

 

Karma Yoga : verses 1 to 3

 

Bhakti Yoga : verses 4 to 9

 

Raja Yoga : verses 10 to 15

 

Gyana Yoga : verses 16 to 30

 

Verses No 16 to 20 give the essence of Gyana Marga and verses 21 to 30

provide further elaboration.

 

Verse no. 10 has a special significance. It describes the unity

(and sameness of the goals) of all the yoga margas.

 

Yours in Sri Bhagavan,
