________________ Those who believe in words of Vedas advocating desire for fruits of actions whether heaven or other pleasures are indecisive about actions leading to realisation of God. "कर्मब्रह्मोदय विद्धि ब्रह्मक्षरसमुद्भवम् । तस्मात्सर्वगतं ब्रह्म नित्यं यज्ञे प्रतिष्ठितम् । 13 / 15।।" "Vedas are from God and all Karma, the aggregate actions are known from Vedas Omnipresent God is eulogized by Yagnas prescribed in Vedas". Such vascillations, variations and contradictions indicate that these stanzas are composed by different persons some advocating action and some dissuading from it. Bhakti Yoga (Devotional Yoga) : Out of various forms of yoga, Bhakti yoga has been eulogised most. “योगिमापि सर्वेषां मद्गतेनान्तरात्मनाः । श्रद्धावान्मजते यो मां स में युक्ततमोमतः |16/4711 " "Of all yogis one who is devoted to me uninterruptedly with innermost dedication is recognized by me as best", says Krishna. "तपस्विभ्योऽधिको योगी ज्ञानिभ्योऽपि मनोऽधिकः । कर्मिभ्यश्चाधिको योगी तस्माधोगी भवार्जुन |16/4611 M "Such a devotee yogi is best out of the Karma Yogis and Jnana Yogis". Devotion yoga (Bhakti Yoga) is total dedication to God. “यदा स्थास्यति निश्चला ।12/53|| "Devotion that is unwavering" “ मन्मया मामुपाश्रिताः । 14/10 || "Who totally identify with me and depend on me, attain me". "सतत कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः । नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्युका उपासते । 19/14||" 25
