There are many in the world of to-day who feel the urge toward the path of
Gnani Yoga, because of the conviction that is forcing itself upon every
truly enlightened mind, that civilization with all its wonderful
achievements, does not promise happiness, or solve the question of the
soul's urge. In short, the educated, and the well conditioned, if he be a
thinker, and not submerged in _maya_, lost in the personal self, inevitably
finds himself searching for the _real_ in all this labyrinth of mind
creations and sea of emotions, and then as a rule, he seeks the path of
Gnani Yoga, because his intellect must be satisfied, even though his heart
calls. The mystic, the teacher, and the philosopher are following the path
of Gnani; so is the true occultist, but many who deal in so-called
occultism are employing _knowledge_ only, entirely missing the higher
quality--_wisdom_.
_Bhakti Yoga_, the path of self-surrender; the thorny way through the
emotions; the "blood of the heart," is the short cut to Illumination, if
such a thing could be.
