There are two kinds of worship (bhakti). One worship is to attain Knowledge (Gnan). That is agnan bhakti (ignorance worship). The second worship is worship after attaining Gnan (Self Realization) and that is Gnan bhakti (Worship with Knowledge of True Self). The whole world is involved in agnan bhakti (ignorance worship). Even through agnan bhakti, a person can attain Knowledge one day and through Gnanbhakti, there is ultimate liberation (moksh).

The Soul can be worshipped only after attaining the Soul (Realization of the Self). Worship removes the veils of ignorance (avaran) and one can see more. It all depends on whose worship one is doing. By worshiping the one who has attained the Soul (the enlightened one), namely the Gnani Purush, one can attain the Soul (realize the self).

Without attaining Gnan (Absolute Knowledge) through the path of yog, one cannot go to moksha. Without attaining Gnan, through the path of worship, one cannot go to moksha. Without attaining Gnan, through the path of karma, one cannot go to moksha.

Lord is an abode of endless bliss. If you like happiness & you do not like misery, then worship the Lord. And if you like misery and do not like happiness, then worship the material (inanimate).

A veil over the Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is agnan, and a veil over the Vision of the Self (Darshan) is adarshan. What would be the outcome of agnan and adarshan? Kashay (anger-pride-deceit-greed). And what is the result of Gnan-Darshan? Samadhi (freedom from the effects of mental, physical, and externally-induced problems).

Worshipping ‘Gnani Purush’ [the enlightened one] is equal to worshiping the Pure Soul and it is indeed same as the worship of absolute supreme Self (Parmatma). And it is the main cause for moksha [final liberation].

What is the difference between aradhana (worship) and bhajana (to be one with)? Aradhana (worship) means the attention will go over and over again there, and bhajana (oneness) means continuous engrossment. One is to do aradhana (worship) and bhajana (oneness) for only one’s own Self; everything else will carry on naturally.

If one were to worship the Soul (self) for even a moment, he will attain moksha without fail. Such is the elegance of the body-complex (paudgalik ramanta) in this world!

People are going out to earn when circumstances are not favourable. Actually, that is when they should do devotional worship (bhakti).
