WHAT ARE JYAN MARG, KARAM MARG AND BHAKTI MARG?

 

-ज्ञान मार्ग , कर्म मार्ग and भक्ति मार्ग do not mean absence of any of these. When we talk of ज्ञान मार्ग, ज्ञान is primary and कर्म and भक्ति follow it. And when we talk of कर्म मार्ग, ज्ञान and भक्ति are no doubt present but prominence is given to कर्म. Similarly, when we talk of भक्ति मार्ग, ज्ञान and कर्म are present but prominence is given to भक्ति. All the three aspects of life, that is, ज्ञान, कर्म and भक्ति are inter-dependent. ज्ञान without कर्म is meaningless, कर्म without ज्ञान is worthless. Both ज्ञान and कर्म become meaningful only if, their aim is भक्ति. As such, true spirituality requires optimum combination of ज्ञान, कर्म and भक्ति. भक्ति मार्ग, actually, means following the commands. In this sense, think over the meaning of the Hindi-words ‘देशभक्त’ and ‘स्वामीभक्त’. By ‘देशभक्त’, we mean a being, who follows the commands of the nation and by ‘स्वामीभक्त’ we mean a being, who follows the commands of his master. Likewise, भक्ति refers to following the commands of God. ‘Surrender’ also means the same thing. Other meanings of these terms prevalent in the society are misleading and should be abandoned.
