The general and popular notion is that by discharging fruitive work in terms of the direction of the scriptures one becomes perfectly able to acquire transcendental knowledge for spiritual realisation. Bhaktiyoga is considered by some as another form of Karma. But factually Bhaktiyoga is above both Karma and Jnanam. Bhaktiyoga is independant of Jnanam or Karma on the other hand Jnanam and Karma are dependant of Bhaktiyoga. This Kriya Yoga or Karma-yaga as recommended by Sri Narada to Vyasa is specifically recommended because the principle is to satisfy the Lord. The Lord wants that His sons the living being may not suffer the threefold miseries of life and desires that all of them should come to Him and live with Him but such going back to Godhead means one must purify himself from material infections. When work is, therefore, performed in terms of satisfaction of the Lord, the performer of such work becomes gradually purified from the material affection. This purification means attainment of spiritual knowledge. Therefore Knowledge is dependant on such Karma or work which is done on behalf of the Lord. Other's knowledge, being devoid of Bhaktiyoga or satisfaction of the Lord, cannot lead one back to the kingdom of God which means cannot even offer salvation as it is already explained in connection with the stanza, NAISKARAMA EVA ACHYUTABHAVA VARJITA. etc. The conclusion is that a devotee engaged in the unalloyed service of the Lord specifically in hearing and chanting of His transcendental glories, becomes simultaneously spiritually enlightened by the Divine Grace as it is confirmed in the Bhagawat Geeta.
