"One who has conquered ego and attachment and is engrossed in meditation of God, gets rid of cycles of pleasures and pain and attain salvation”.
Inspite of some contradictions incongruities and repetitions. Gita is an unique scripture on yoga and its sermons if imbibed and practised would enhance the quality of this life and facilitate further journey to salvation. However, advocacy of war is not relevant in present times when nations are equipped with nuclear arsenal, capable to destroy the planet earth many times. It is also important to note that all the five forms of yoga are to be practised simultaneously and not separately. Jnana Yoga is a necessary component in all other forms of yoga because one must have requisite knowledge to practise any form of yoga. Karma yoga is inherent in all forms of yoga as one is required to undertake activity for practising any other form. Even in Jnana Yoga activity of listening sermons or reading of scriptures is necessary. In Bhakati Yoga one must concentrate, recollect and follow the teachings of the deity. Nothing will be achieved by just reciting or singing praise of the deity who will not come to do any work of the devotee. All deities Rama, Krishna and others were action oriented. Ideal bhakti is to imbibe their teachings which they amply demonstrated by their own actions to set an example. Likewise Abhyasa Yoga is a necessary component in all other forms because it is only by repeated practice that it can be learnt and mastered. Dhyan Yoga is most important component in all forms of yoga because whatever is done should be done with full concentration and attention i.e. Dhyan.
