Knowledge, Action and Devotion: Their Interrelationship Dr. Atasi Mahapatra, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Shahid Matangini Hazra Government General Degree College for Women, West Bengal, India. | |
In ancient Indian Philosophy, three methods of practice have been
mentioned for attaining salvation (Moksha), namely, the path of knowledge, the
path of action, and the path of devotion. Jnana Yoga for attaining salvation is
the knowledge of the Supreme Being. Advaita Vedanta, Nyaya-Vaisheshikas are
follows the paths of knowledge. The Samkhya-Yoga philosophy considered that
knowledge and action are helpful to attaining salvation. Jain and Buddhist
philosophy are the followers of Jnana-Karmasamuchya. The Karma-margis are always
interested in attaining the supreme goal by following the path of Karma. The
earlier Mimamsakas believed in Karma. Later, the Gita expanded the meaning of
Karma and spoke of performing Karma without desire for results. The
Bhakti-margis are interested in attaining the supreme goal by adopting the path
of Bhakti.Vaishnava Vedantists adopt the path of Bhakti-marga to attain
salvation. But there is no opposition between the various paths of Sadhana,
i.e., knowledge, Karma and Bhakti, rather they are supportive and complementary
to each other. Although the paths are differed according to the inclination,
the goal remains one and the same. The ultimate goal of these three paths is
Moksha or liberation. The article attempts to provide an idea of the nature of the path of
knowledge, the path of action and the path of devotion and their mutual
relationship in Indian Philosophy. | |
