INTEGRATION OF KARMA BHAKTI AND JNANA

THROUGH TRAMANA MAHARSHI WAS AN ARDENT VOTARY OF JNANA MARGA, SELF INQUIRY TO ATTAIN SELF-REALIZATION, HE WAS AWARE THAT NOT EVERY SEEKER WAS BLESSED WITH SUBTITLE INTELLECT TO FOLLOW THE PATH OF SELF-NQUIRY THE DIRECT METHOD OF REALIZATION. THE MIND NEED TO BE REFINED AND RENDERED AND GET CONNECTED WITH THE SUPREME SELF.


THE MAHARSHI SUGGESTED THAT TILL THE SEEKER IS READY TO PURSUE THE DIRECT METHOD OF SELF-REALIZATION, HE SHOULD INCLUDE IN HIS SPIRITUAL SADHANA PRACTICE INDIRECT METHODS LIKE THE PATHS OF BHAKTI DEVOION PRANAYANAMA BREATH-REGULATION AND KARMA ACTION.

UPADESHA SARAM OF RAMANA MAHARSHI VERSE 3 READS AS FOLLOWS "WORK WHICH IS PREFFERED AND PERFORMED AS AN OFFERING TO THE ALMIGHTY AND DONE WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF THE FRUITS THEREOF HELPS IN PURIFICATION OF THE MIND AND THEREBY LEADS ONE TO LIBERATION."

THIS VERSE EXPLAINS THE VERY ESSENCE OF KARMA YOGA AND HIGHLIGHTS THE EFFICIENCY OF THIS YOGA IN BETWEEN SELF-REALIZATION UPON THE SEEKER

OM NAMO NARAYANA.

HARI OM NAMO NARAYANA.

OM NAMO SHIVAI

PLEASE SAVE MY PARENTS AND SAVE MY CAR. PLEASE PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO MY BROTHERS .

PLEASE KEEP KANIKA HAPPY.

KARMA MEANS ACTION .


YOGA MEANS UNION.

PUT SIMPLY KARMA YOGA INCLUDES THOSE ACTION WHIH BRING ABOUT UNON WITH THE SUPREME SELF.


NO ONE CAN ESCAPE ACTION IT IS THE DEMAND OF NATURE THAT HUMAN BEINGS MUST ENGAGE IN ACTION.

ALSO AN ACTION CANNOT BE PERFORMED.
THIS LEADS TO THE CREATION OF A VARIOU CIRCLE OF BONDAGE MAKING IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SEEKERS TO ATTAIN LIBERATION.

HOW TO EXTRICATE ONESELF FROM THE QUAGMIRE OF THE UNENDING PROCESS OF TRANSMIGRATION?



IN THE BHAGWAT GITA KRISHNA ADVISES ARJUNA TO PERFORM EVERY ACTION IN A SPIRIT OF  DEVOTION FOR COMMON WELFARE WITHOUT BEING ATTACHED TO THE FRUITS OF ACTION.

ACTIONS THAT ARE PERFORMED AS OFFERINGS TO THE LORD ARE NOT BINDING BECAUSE THEY ARE DONE WITHOUT EXPECTATION OF ANY PERSONAL GAINS AND WITH A SENSE OF UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

WHAT YOU DO IS A PART OF YOU,
IT IS THE EXPECTATION OF WHAT YOU SAND FOR.

OUR LIFE-WORK TRULY REFLECTS OUR IDEALS IN FACT OUR REAL SELVES.
