GYAN MARG

3 Paths to the Final Truth (Gyan, bhakti, Karma)

It is said the that there are 3 paths to the final truth and one can choose to pick any. The three paths are commonly defined as:

Gyan Marg (The highest level)
Bhakti (Devotion towards God)
Karma (Work)

Gyan Marg: The path of knowledge, in the Gyan marg a person realises his true self through knowledge and truth. This is said to be the most difficult of all as it is filled with hurdles and one needs the right Guru (The Enlightened one) who can guide him through this maze, from darkness to light.
Bhakti Marg: The path of Devotion, it is a path where one renounces everything and leaves everything to God. It is the easiest path and one needs to have faith in god to be able to walk this path. Faith is the driving factor, if one loses it his bhakti is over.
Karma Marg: The path of hard work, the journey in this path revolves around the work one does, his karma. A person is known by the kind of karma he does and with the right karma he attains the eternal bliss.

As per the common belief that one should choose any path, here to say that its only a mix of all these paths that can lead one to the final truth that is himself. As without Gyan you would never know the final truth, without devotion you will not be able to enjoy it, and with out karma you will not be able to achieve it.
