Namaste,IMHO,

 

The Yogas of the Gita are different but end up the same way. A

jnanai may take the path of discrimination, but a Bhakti the one of

Love. In the end result if one merges with the Divine Ishtadevata

Sakti one realises Nirguna at the same time. So all paths lead to

the one ending. The end of lives and illusion.

There is a possibility that a Bhakti may not merge completely and

remain in the Brahmaloka until Pralaya, but this is just a step in

the same direction...........Nir Vana, Nir Guna they all mean

essentially the same thing ultimately..........ONS...Tony.
