Why we take Brahmasambandh? Because in Shastras there are the other ways shown for Kalyan, and by that pathways also a Jeeva-Soul gets Liberation. Free from Sins............. Then what is so importance of our Pushtimargiya Brahmasambandh??????
-------->PushtiBhaktimarg is the special and non-common pathway, by which the Jeev-soul gets the extremees of the Devotion. What type of Extremees?The height of Devotion, the service to Lord by his grace. But only by Deviton? There are many other ways like Karma-marga, Gyan-marga, etc. So why only the Bhakti-marga?
Ok, for your answer lets us discuss the notations from Shrimad Bhagwad, where Lord Himself gives the orders.
Yogas trayo Maya Proktam
Naram shreyovidhitsaya
gyanaKarma Cha Bhaktis cha
Nopayo Nyo Sti Kutracit || (11.20.6)
The Supreme Personality of Godhead ShriGokulesh Gives Aagyna: My dear Uddhava because I desire that human beings may achieve perfection, I have presented three paths of advancement — the path of knowledge, the path of work and the path of devotion. Besides these three there is absolutely no other means of elevation.
That means the Karma, Gyana and Bhakti elements r shown in this ShriBhagwatji. Then how can you differentiate it?? We can differentiate it, directly, because it this orders of ShriPrabhu is been given on the basis of the Adhikaar and Swabhaav of the Soul-Jeev. Also in Shrimad Bhagwat (7.7.53-53)
Na Danam Na Tapo Nejya Na Saucam Na Vratani Cha |
Priyate Malaya Bhaktya Harir Anyad vidambanam || (7.7.52)
None of these qualifications can awaken the pleasure of the Lord. Nor by charity, austerity, sacrifice, cleanliness or vows can one satisfy the Lord. The Lord is pleased only if one has unflinching, unalloyed devotion to Him. Without sincere devotional service, everything is simply a show.
Tato Harau Bhagawati Bhaktim Kuruta Danavaha |
Atmaupamayenu Sarvatra Sarva-Bhutatmanisvare || (7.7.53)
My dear friends, O sons of the demons, in the same favorable way that one sees himself and takes care of himself, take to devotional service to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present everywhere as the Supersoul of all living entities.
But by this Bhakti - Devotion, it doesn't implies that the Karmamarg of Gyanmarg to be different. Ok, then take a note of this Bhagwad Vachan from Shrimad Bhagwat (6.1.11-19), The Vachans quoted by Bhagwan SukhMuni.
Karmana Karma-Nirharo Na Hy-atyantika Isyate |
Avidvad Adhikarivat Prayaschittam Vimarsanam || 6-1-11
Sukadeva Gosvāmī, the son of Vedavyāsa, answered: My dear King, since acts meant to neutralize impious actions are also fruitive, they will not release one from the tendency to act fruitively. Persons who subject themselves to the rules and regulations of atonement are not at all intelligent. Indeed, they are in the mode of darkness. Unless one is freed from the mode of ignorance, trying to counteract one action through another is useless because this will not uproot one's desires. Thus even though one may superficially seem pious, he will undoubtedly be prone to act impiously. Therefore real atonement is enlightenment in perfect knowledge, Vedanta, by which one understands the Supreme Absolute Truth.
Nasnatah Pathyam Evannam Vyadhayo Bhibhavanti Hi |
Evam Niyamakrd Rajan Sanaih Ksemaya Kalpte || 6.1.12
My dear King, if a diseased person eats the pure, uncontaminated food prescribed by a physician, he is gradually cured, and the infection of disease can no longer touch him. Similarly, if one follows the regulative principles of knowledge, he gradually progresses toward liberation from material contamination.
Tapasa Brahmacaryena Samena Cha Damena Cha |
Tyagena Satya SauchaBhyam Yamena Niyamena Va || 6.1.13
Deha Vag Buddhijam Dhira Dharmajnah Sraddhayanvitah |
Ksipanty Agham Mahad Api Venu-Gulman Ivanalah || 6.1.14
To concentrate the mind, one must observe a life of celibacy and not fall down. One must undergo the austerity of voluntarily giving up sense enjoyment. One must then control the mind and senses, give charity, be truthful, clean and nonviolent, follow the regulative principles and regularly chant the holy name of the Lord. Thus a sober and faithful person who knows the religious principles is temporarily purified of all sins performed with his body, words and mind. These sins are like the dried leaves of creepers beneath a bamboo tree, which may be burned by fire although their roots remain to grow again at the first opportunity.
Kechit Kevalaya Bhaktya Vasudeva Parayana |
Agham Dhunvanti Kartsnyena Niharam Iva Bhaskarah || 6.1.15
Only a rare person who has adopted complete, unalloyed devotional service to ShriKrishna- Vaasudev can uproot the weeds of sinful actions with no possibility that they will revive. He can do this simply by discharging devotional service, just as the sun can immediately dissipate fog by its rays.
