The Three Paths: Karma, Bhakti And Jnana
Whatever is attained by righteous duties, austerities, knowledge, dispassion, Yoga, charity and many other means of attaining good - all that My devotee fully attains through the one course of devotion to Me—even heaven, or liberation, or My abode, if he cares to have it.
My Bhaktas who are solely devoted to Me do not desire anything even if it be offered by Me, not even final liberation or absolute Moksha.
Therefore to want nothing is the great and most efficacious way to attain the highest good. Therefore he who has no desires and cares for nothing attains devotion to Me.
Merits and defects which arise from performance of actions enjoined and prohibited do not affect those devotees who are exclusively devoted to Me, the Supreme Being who is beyond the intellect. They are beyond the limits of Guna (merit) and Dosha (defect).
Those who thus practise these paths to My attainment, the three Yogas that I have just taught, attain My abode of bliss or realisation of Brahman.
