THE FOUR CLASSES OF MEN

Presented by
" God / Brahman Working With Vatsa Sridatta Through The Holy Spirit :
AMEN"

There are four classes of men;
the karmis,
the jnanis,
the yogis, and
the bhaktas.

The karmis work for some material profit.
The yogis try to acquire some mystic power to exhibit a wonderful show.
The jnanis try to become immortal , and want salvation from the miseries of life.

But, the bhaktas ----the devotees ---do not want anything for themselves. They simply want to serve GOD out of love. Just as a mother serves her child. There is no question of profit in a mother's service to her child. Out of pure affection and love she cares for him.
When one becomes to this stage of loving GOD, that is perfection.

Neither the karmi, the jnani, nor the yogi   can know GOD------only the bhakta.



As is said by...

KRISHNA ----"Only through the process of bhakti can one understand GOD " .
(Gita - 18 /55 )

KRISHNA never says one can understand HIM by other processes.
No, only through bhakti.
If one is interested in knowing GOD and loving HIM, then he must accept the devotional process.
No other process will help.


'HARI OM'  "AMEN"
