The Lord declares to the Seekers :-

 

Yogastraya maya prakta nrnam sreyo vidhitsaya |

Jnanam karma ca bhaktisca nopaya nyosti kutracit || (Srimadbhagawata

11/120/6)

 

For those who wanted to attain salvation, God has stated three

yogas - Jnana yoga (path of knowledge) , Karma Yoga (path of action)

and Bhakti Yoga (path of devotion) . Besides these three, there is

no other path to attain salvation.

 

God realization is something, which is attained immediately. It

needs neither future nor does it need actions and objects.

 

These three paths for God - Realization are 1) Path of Vivek /

Knowledge (Discrimination) 2) Path of Action and 3) Path of

Devotion.

 

Jnana (Viveka) Marga (Path of discrimination)

 

Renunciation of the unreal (non-existent) , which is known to one,

is the path of Discrimination. There are three means (methods) for

it : -

 

1. To be `akincana' (destitute) i.e. In the infinite Universes, I

have no possession over any thing in the least.

2. To be devoid of desire i.e. I need nothing.

3. To be 'aprayatna' i.e. to do nothing with a selfish motive. By

doing nothing for one's own interest, the sense of ego will be wiped

out.

 

Karma Yoga Marga (Path of action)

 

Renunciation of evil totally is the Path of Action. There are three

Methods for it: -

 

1. Neither think any one evil, nor wish any one evil, nor do any one

evil.

2. To feel compassion for the suffering and to share the joy of

cheerful persons.

3. To apply the things acquired from the world in rendering service

to the world without the desire for it's fruits.

 

Visvasa Marga (Path of devotion)

 

To take total refuge in God, is the Path of Devotion. There are two

means for it:-

 

1. I am a part of only God 'Mamaivamso jivaloke' (Gita 15/7).

Ishvara amsa jiva avinasi ( Manasa 7/117/1). God is my father ,I am

his son. Being a part of God. I am only God's and only God is mine.

Besides God no one else is mine.

2 (a) All is His i.e. whatever is seen, heard and reflected upon in

the world, all that belongs to God only.

(b) Only He is all i.e there is nothing else besides God. The entire

Universe including ?I? is his manifestation.

© There has neither been, non-will be , nor can there ever be any

other entity besides Him. Only God existed, only God exists and only

God will exist. 'Vasudevah Sarvam'( Gita 7/19).

 

In this realization, there is perfection of human life.
