The scriptures explain that this realization is attained through Bhakti of Personal Form of God. Then through Divine Grace .
Why It Matters
Shri Maharaj Ji explains that even a seeker following the path of Gyan ultimately requires Bhakti.
For this reason, Gyan Yog represents the completion and perfection of Gyan through devotion.
