Music Finally,

God is also looking at the bhakta and saying that you are not different from me.

The final goal of the bhakti path is that the devotee dissolves in God,

Becomes one and realizes I am God.

Everybody is stuck on the initial path.

That's where the bhakti marga has,

Every marga has its own little,

What do you call it,

A con.

There are pros and cons.

So the con of the bhakti marga is this,

That people get stuck in the duality of I and you.

And then they say that,

Okay,

I surrender to you.

I am nothing.

You are everything.

I can never be like you.

In a way they're giving the ego the right to,

You can be wrong now.

You are not everything.

You are not great like him.

You are not supreme like him.

So it is an excuse for the ego to not change,

To not transform.

And this becomes a big roadblock,

Bottleneck on the bhakti marga.

And people do not progress.

Very few,

Very few,

Like handful of people can get beyond this bottleneck and reach the true realization,

Oh,

That the devotee merges in God.

Then there is no more devotee.

There is only God.

They never reach this last step.

And this last step is not different from what Advaita is telling you.

Non-duality,

No two.

Every path is taking you to the same place.
