Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 HARI AUM Surprisingly Sarojaji's piece on 'BhajaGovindam' in the latest Navaneetham too has highlighted the importance of 'knowledge' in the overall scheme of things both devotional and spiritual. Sarojaji writes: "One might dip in Ganges, or observe numerous austerities or give away in charity, if he is without proper knowledge he will not attain salvation even after 100 lives and this is true according to all beliefs. Any ritual or austerity unless accompanied with jnana becomes a routine exercise and people continue to do them without knowing the purpose behind it. In this manner they get attached to the ritual alone and do not go beyond that. Any karma enjoined in the Vedas, like yajna, dhana, thapas etc., will be effective to secure moksha only if they are done as an offering to the Lord for which bhakthi coupled with jnana is essential. Real knowledge, jnana can arise only through detachment and not by learning scriptures alone." Regards Balagopal NARAYANA NARAYANA NARAYANA From cricket scores to your friends.
