Words of Wisdom - 18



Man was blessed with a head, a heart, and hands that are made for: jnana, bhakti, and karma. 
Karma cannot be done without knowledge and love. 
Bhakti cannot be understood without action and knowledge.
Jnana cannot be gained without love and action. 
These three are intimately connected.
True knowledge, true love, true action cannot be acquired without a regular practice and without adopting rigorous discipline. 
Otherwise: Knowledge cannot be complete, love cannot be total, action cannot be disinterested.


B.K.S. Iyengar, Sparks of Divinity
