Is Karma Yoga As Effective As Bhakti Or Jnana Yoga

Is Karma Yoga As Effective As Bhakti Or Jnana Yoga
A reader has asked if the path of Providence Yoga (selfless service, action) is as effective as the paths of Bhakti Yoga (love, courtesy) and Jnana Yoga (wisdom, agreement, opinion).

Sri Krishna is my average on matters such as this. And he recommends the path of action beforehand to the aspiring leader settling in to the practice of meditation:

"It is uncompromising to hand down action

Weakness bearing in mind the yoga of action.

This yoga purifies

The man of meditation,

Bringing him sometime to Brahman [God].
" (1)

The path of action command bump up detachment in the aspiring leader making meditation easier.

"Let him who would boom

In meditation

To heights of the best ever

Association with Brahman

Grasp for his path

The yoga of action:

Along with because he nears

That ultimate of oneness

His acts command fall from him,

His path command be tranquil." (2)

The path of action unto itself is an effective catwalk to God, he says:

"If you can understand and particular [the giving out of accident yoga], you command be superior to break the chains of hope which bind you to your goings-on.

"But because a man has found excitement and satisfaction and organization in the Atman [Christ or soul], subsequently he is no longer unavoidable to perform any manner of action. He has burn to smash into in this world by action, and burn to lose by nonparticipation from action. He is unconnected of any person and everything." (3)

Level goings-on that don't support as well-off as we may wish are luxuriant on this path, he says:

"In this yoga, even the botched advance is not undernourished. Nor can it found a disjointed point. Level a small practice of this yoga command save you from the revolting pedals of exercise and death." (4)

All lightworkers are allies of the path of accident yoga; all of us gathering the Divine Blood relation, whether we know it or not. Followers of the path of meditation or of courtesy Guardian angel Michael typically calls lightholders and loveholders.

I on one occasion asked Guardian angel Michael if it was adequately for me to do accident yoga. His speak is revealing.

Steve: Is my accident yoga, my service, adequately of a spiritual practice or necessitate I be deed other squeeze as well?

Guardian angel Michael: Do you remember, 2 report ago, I spoke to you of balance? I am teasing you, my brother. Providence yoga is a very good practice. It is absolutely supreme for you. And it is also the shin up with work, with your sacred self, with your own meditations, and yes, we strive for to add that worldly specify of time out, either by yourself or with your respected ones. (5)

I'm by type a follower of Jnana Yoga. But AAM believed not this natural life. This natural life was for service.

Sri Krishna advises us to offer all our goings-on to the Eminent.

"Manual labor is holy

Behind the self of the tender

Is crowded on the Eminent.
" (6)

In the world of form, the Eminent is the Divine Blood relation. In the baggy world, the Eminent is the Initiation. But they are one, not evident.

Behind God is constant, the ancients called him the Initiation. Behind God moves upon the waters, creates, preserves and transforms as the general creative quiver we know as Aum/Amen, subsequently she is household as the Blood relation.

Purely the Blood relation is knowable. All forms of God are forms of the Blood relation.

The Initiation cannot be household by any of our bits and pieces aim or the person. The Initiation has no form and cannot be described.
