Narada Bhakti Sutras - 5

 

Chapter 2 (Sloka 1 - 9)

 

1. Bhakti is greater than Karma, greater than Jnana, greater than Yoga

(Raja Yoga), because Bhakti itself is its result, because Bhakti is

both the means and the end (fruit).

 

2. As a man cannot satisfy his hunger by simple knowledge or sight of

food, so a man cannot be satisfied by the knowledge or even the

perception of God until love comes; therefore love is the highest.
