The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v2.c40.s7.t3.93

v2.c40.s7.t3.93

Knowledge of god is vouchsafed by the grace of the lord⁸ to him who has the highest devotion (*bhakti*) to god, and also to his spiritual teacher even as to god,¹ a doctrine which suggests not the later Yoga, but the spirit of the Bhagavadgītā and the general adoration of the teacher, as an essential part of the way of salvation, in the sectarian religions.
