Jnanayoga

"One can attain the Knowledge of Brahman, too, by following the path of bhakti. 

God is all-powerful. He may give His devotee Brahmajnāna also, if He so wills. But the devotee generally doesn't seek the Knowledge of the Absolute. He would rather have the consciousness that God is the Master and he the servant, or that God is the Divine Mother and he the child." 

VIJAY: "But those who discriminate according to the Vedanta philosophy also realize Him in the end, don't they?" 

MASTER: "Yes, one may reach Him by following the path of discrimination too: that is called Jnanayoga. But it is an extremely difficult path."
