An aspirant can follow either of the two paths

Jai Shri Ram
An aspirant can follow either of the two paths. Those who are attached (attracted) to the world should accept the first point - "All this is not existing, only Paramatma IS existing" While those who are totally detached from the world and are engaged only in meditation, contemplation, name recitation, chanting and adoration etc., should accept the second path which is that "In the form of this world is only Bhagwaan." As such if seen, both these paths are one and the same in Essence (tattva). Yet there seems to be a difference in them in the same way as, there seems to be difference in different kinds of ornaments of gold and the gold itself. In the former there is predominance of discrimination "vivek", where one knows Paramatma in essence, by recognizing the perishability and non-existent nature of the world. While in the latter there is predominance of "Existence" (bhaav) , where it is believed that everything in this world is a manifestation of Paramatma. Devotees who worship attributeless God attach importance to discrimination, while those who worship the Lord with attributes, attach importance to sentiments "bhaav".
But in fact, both of these are about knowing Paramatma in "Essence" (Tattva) i.e. 1) to know the non-existing nature of the world is to know Paramatma as well as, 2) to accept the world as a manifestation of God (bhagwatswaroop) is also knowing Paramatma in "Essence". Because in reality, both are one and the same. The difference is only that in the path of Knowledge there is predominance of "knowing" and in the path of devotion there is predominance of "acceptance" (believing).
