Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Gyan Yoga is a path of those who have logical part of brain more developed and Bhakti Yoga is liked by them whose emotional part of brain is more developed than logical one.<br><br> And as respected Sanyasi wrote, sometimes Advait vednta or gyan yoga is favoured by egotists and dry logicians too. And it is very difficult in the beginning to find if a gyan yogi is a real yogi or an egotist liking to prove himself GOD.<br><br> The safest way is to start with Bhakti Yoga or Japa Yoga. When we reach the higher stages of Bhakti, Gyan starts descending into our mind. Who said Bhaktas are not gyanis ? Mirabai when went to Vrindavana, decided to meet Swami Virajanada, who was a Brahmchari and kept away from women. He asked his pupil to drive Mirabai away because she was a woman. Mirabai when heard this asked," I know there is only one Purusha (man) in the Universe that is Krishna, rest all are his gopis (the women). So let me see who is this another Man born in the univserse. This gave a shock to Virajananda who then came out and touched her feet. Mirabai thus revealed the greatest truth of SANKHYA to a gyan yogi !<br><br> In Vrindavana, they sing a Gopi song in local language. When Udhava told gopis to forget Krishna and go on the path of Brahm they sing :-<br><br>Chitta Rat hot Pran pyarey mein Nirat hoke;<br>Hot Mal shodhat vidhaat saare chhan mein !<br>Rom harsh kheej Jhunjhalahat Hridyaa hoti;<br>Meru Dand spandan Prakmap hot tan mein!<br>Leen hain samadhi mein, bisaro apnapo jaat;<br>Ya so baro aur kaun Jog socho man mein !<br>Raaj, Hathh, Bhakti teeno jog sadhi jaat Udho;<br>Ik Manmohan viyog ke rudan mein !<br><br> Our heart drowns into the memory of Krishna<br>our Prana concentrate on him and in a moment our<br>all vikaras (bad energies) are purified ! <br><br> Our whole body vibrates, and there comes fierce trembling in the body. There are strange giggles in the spine !<br><br> We drown into deep samadhi of HIS love;and forget about our physical body. Is there any other Yoga greater than this in this world ?<br><br> All the three yogas (Raj Yoga, Hathh yoga, Bhakti Yoga) are mastered in the single moment, when we weep bitterly for our Sham sunder (Krishna)<br><br> Now the illeterate gopis while explaining their Viraha (separation) from Krishna are mentioning the highest truth of Raja Yoga, Tantra and Kundalini Yoga. Isn't it ? so much so that the great Gyani like Uddhava apologised from gopis for trying to teach them Yoga.<br><br> when on the right path, the difference between uneven development of logical and emotional parts begins diminishing. To reach the highest, both parts of the brain should be synchronised and evenly developed.<br><br> Over emotionals as well as dry intellectuals can not reach the higher realms. If we chose either of the paths, less developed part of mind starts developing.<br><br> so next time, when a gyani rejects a bhakta or a bhakta shuns gyani, both should know that the development process is not yet complete.<br><br>Hari Om Tat Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
