Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah - (Yoga is to check the mind from changing) - which is acceptable to all. That is also the goal of all. The method is chosen according to one's own fitness. The goal for all is the same. Yet different names are given to the goal only to suit the process preliminary to reaching the goal. Bhakti, Yoga, Jnana are all the same.

You may go on reading any number of books on Meditation. They can only tell you ‘Realize the Self’. The Self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself in yourself.

That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real

There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.

Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.

Whatever be the means adopted, you must at last return to the Self, so why not abide as the Self here and now?

Suffering is the way for Realization of God.
