I had some argument with scholars here and it is obvious that Jnana and Bhakthi had clashed. No doubt Jnana is great, but without Bhakthi Yoga's Grace it is difficult to transcend. As Aurobindo put it " the austere Advaitin who wants extinction in the Ineffable will miss the sweetness of Saraswathi, the terror of Kali and the laughter of Krishna " ! The stories of Rama, Krishna, Jesus etc may be mythological stories, written by the highly intelligent to save mankind from peril, but those stories are needed by humanity !
In every man, there exists a responsiveness to Ultimate Truth - a subconscious reminiscence, as Plato would way, or rather a super conscious reminiscence. When philosophic concepts are introduced in story form - Mythology - the initiate's joy cannot be greater. There is joy in Mythology, as the stories of Krishna, Rama and Jesus proved !
It may be Prajnanam Anandam Brahma in Jnana Yoga, but it is Premam Anandam Brahma in Bhakthi Yoga !
Darshan dee jo Bhagavan parama dayalo Bhagavan !
