As per Vedic
philosophy or Hinduism as it is called by many “All paths lead to the same God
– the goal of entire Universe”. Only Vedic philosophy has the maturity and
hence the sanity and courage to state this truth openly. Some of the paths that
are well known are that of
a.devotion
towards God in the form of any of His manifestations – the Bhakthi Marg.
b.The path of knowing the divine through logic, analysis and contemplation
c.that of serving the society and working towards its betterment as a karmayogi
d.doing one’s duty as per his station in life – be it as a spouse, student or an employee with purity of intent, love and non-attachment towards doership is called ‘swadharma’.
e.the path of a mystic
f.following the path of Pathanjali and walking ‘Eight fold path’
g.Ahimsa and love towards each and every being including trees and animals.
h.following various rituals of performing pooja and following religious traditions
i.life of an ascetic or a wandering monk
j.even an atheist by ‘denying the existence of God’ at every step is working his way towards reaching that centre of all existence – the Be All and All That Is – The All Pervading Brahman whom we refer to as God!
These and so many other paths either take you towards ‘the Eternal’ or aid you in making progress towards that end!
Yet many times a traveler of one path for absence of need and utility of other path procedures can choose to ignore them partially or completely as the case may be.
