Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hare Krishna prabhus Dandavats Just one remark. Jnana that helps to develop bhakti is good it is called bhagavat-tattva-jnana. Jnana of the mayavadis is deterimantal. Now the higher stage of jnana or vijnana comes from bhakti. This vijnana is somethimes also called only jnana. Jnana and vairagya are the two sons of bhakti. Bhakti includes bhakta and Bhokta or Bhagavan and acting in the knoweldge of their eternal loving relationship. Therefore, jnana that is part of bhakti (for any Vaisnava in any sampradaya) and the jnana of an advaitin are two different types of jnana. Jnana for a mayavadi is to twist the meaning of the sastra to uselessly proof oneness with Brahman. This is detrimental to bhakti and jnana (hear meaning realized knowledge) as a part of bhakti will be not awakened. Therefore, the Bhagavatam says about mayavadis 'avishudha budhaya' - they have impure intelligence. One more point. Bhakti involves both karma and jnana - strictly speaking karma here refers only to Krishna-karma or activities only for the pleasure of Krishna; and Jnana as above mentioned (not the type of jnana like the mayavadis have) is the knowledge about Krishna the soul and their eternal relationship.
