Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

The objective of spiritual goal is realized in three different phases: Brahman, Paramātmā, and Bhagavān. Brahman is impersonal conception of the Supreme. So these jñānīs, those who are proceeding through philosophical speculation and metaphysical analysis, they attain up to the impersonal Brahman. Those who are meditating by yogic process, they attain to the Paramātmā feature, or Supersoul. And those who are devotees, they attain the Supreme Personality of Godhead.


Our the present life is diseased condition, so if we want to cure this disease of repeated birth and death, then we have to restrict, restrict our bodily enjoyment. Because we cannot enjoy. It is simply so-called enjoyment. Actually, you cannot enjoy this diseased condition of this body. Enjoyment, real enjoyment, means that is non stopping. Nonstop. There is a verse in Mahābhārata, ramante yoginaḥ anante (CC Madhya 9.29).

Yoginaḥ, those who are yogīs or spiritualist. Yogīs means spiritualist. The general meaning of yogī is spiritualist. Those who are endeavoring to emancipate from this material condition of life and trying to elevate to the spiritual platform, he is called yogī.

Now, those yogīs are different types, but the method or process of spiritual realization may be different. Your process or my process may be a little different, but that does not hamper. The thing is that your aim is also spiritual realization. Just like generally there are three classes of spiritualist: the jñānīs, the yogīs and the bhaktas. Jñānīs . . . jñānī means those who are trying to realize spiritual self through speculation of metaphysics and philosophy. They are called jñānīs. And yogīs—those who are trying to realize spiritual self by meditation and controlling the senses. Yoga indriya-saṁyama. This haṭha-yoga meditation means that our senses are engaged in varieties of work, so by that haṭha-yoga gymnastic, the process, the mind is concentrated into the Paramātmā, Supersoul. That means those who are too much bodily addicted, for them, this haṭha-yoga process is good, recommended.

So yogī . . . the jñānī and the yogī and the bhakta. Bhakta means devotees, devotees, spiritual realization. The objective of spiritual goal is realized in three different phases: Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān. Brahman is impersonal conception of the Supreme. So these jñānīs, those who are proceeding through philosophical speculation and metaphysical analysis, they attain up to the impersonal Brahman. Those who are meditating by yogic process, they attain to the Paramātmā feature, or Supersoul. And those who are devotees, they attain the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
