Brotherhood ranks above meditation
C.A. Bartzokas
“The path of action or karma yoga, the path of love or bhakti yoga, the path of meditation or dhyāna yoga,
2
and the path of knowledge of jnana yoga constitute the four
limbs of buddhi-yoga of the Bhagavad Gita which integrates them into an organic
whole.”
3 Of the many meanings of the Sanskrit word yoga in the Gita, the following
sentence encapsulates its import best, and the significance of right action:
Yoga is the skill in the performance of actions.
4
Yoga is akin to Greek praxis, as opposed to sānkhya or theory. “In true philosophy
every physical action has its moral and everlasting effect,”
5
says H.P. Blavatsky, for
desire and action are metaphysically connected with perception.
