Bhakti Yoga
Tatparya Nirnaya :- When the man works in reference to Sri Vishnu alone his japa (recitation), worship, prayers etc. would be for his liberation, therefore performance of actions should be understood as initiated by Sri Vishnu and for the pleasure of Sri Vishnu. When one worships other deities and offers them to the pleasure of Sri Vishnu, then he is said to be attempting the means of works pleasing Sri Vishnu. Among the two the former one is superior because in that case be remembers in such action, Sri Vishnu in the beginning, in the middle and in the end without fail, knowing very well that he subservient to the Lord. In the latter case, the person remembering Sri Vishnu according to his capacity and offering all works performed for His pleasure all his works would be those for the Lord, for the pleasure of the Lord. It is better to have proper knowledge than perform meditation without proper knowledge. Meditation with proper knowledge is better than even mere knowledge. Even in meditation without desire for fruits is better than the one with desire for fruits. Because from such meditation true realization dawns and liberation comes about. Peace means liberation.
