individual soul is the gateway to the meeting
with the Supreme Soul. Gita says: 'God is
subject to experience. Eyes of knowledge help
us to experience God in our hearts. The true
bhakta, along with observing yama-niyama-
sanyam (self-control), achieves closeness to
God in his pure soul by constant practice of
yoga.' Lord Shri Krishna has explained bhakti
yoga in details in Gita. Life is lifeless and
futile without bhakti. Bhakti provides food for
soul. Bliss of bhakti is the real food for the
soul. There is infinite power in bhakti. Spirit of
bhakti brings balance in human life, puts a
brake on materialism, disquiet, tension and
worry and then the man gets rid of internal
and external vices. Consequently, the life is
full of fragrance. Frustration, distress and
dearth of joy are gone. And the life is full of
energy, enthusiasm, and high spirit. Gita gives
the message of making human life superior
and pure by bhakti yoga.
