BHAKTI-YOGA.
Yoga, because these are intended for an object in view, while Bhakti is its own fruition, its own means and its own end."*
Bhakti has been the one constant theme of our sages. Apart from the special writers on Bhakti, such as Sandilya or Narada, the great commentators on the Vyása-Sutras, evidently advocates of Knowledge (Jnána), have also something very suggestive to say about Love. Even when the commentator is anxious to explain many, if not all, of the texts so as to make them import a sort of dry knowledge, the Sutras, in the chapter on worship specially, do not lend themselves to be easily manipulated in that fashion.
चौ सा न कामयमाना निरोधकपात् ।

(orega IV-25) पी वयं खखापतेवि नमकमाराः ।
( a a IV-30 )
