They are neither superior nor inferior to each other. A Sadhak can choose whichever he wants or finds easier to practise. Both will bring him to Me”.

Then a question arises naturally. If both have the same destination, in what sense the paths are different?

Here Bhagavatham gives a beautiful example – the senses for vision, taste, smell and touch will perceive an object differently. Take a piece of sweet jaggery. The eyes will see it as black or white. The nostrils will take it as a sweet smell or foul smell. The skin will take it as soft or hard. And the tongue will take it as sweet or sour. Similarly the ONE Bhagavan is described in many ways by the Scriptures.

The Jnani says that the Lord is beyond Gunas. The Bhaktha says that HE has infinite Gunas. Both statements are right!

Note – what do we learn here? Jnana is concerned with head (intellect) and Bhakthi is concerned with heart (feelings). When you KNOW about Bhagavan (qualities or attributes), you will develop Bhakthi for Him. When you LOVE Bhagavan you will know Him closer. So, both will take you to the Supreme.  How intelligent our Masters are – they know how to uplift your mind, wherever you stand now…
