In Sanatana Dharma, sages embody the diverse spiritual paths of Bhakti, Jnana, and Karma, guiding humanity through their unique life experiences. The life of Sri Kakabhushundi and Emperor Manu highlights the profound teachings of devotion, wisdom, and the quest for the ultimate truth.
Goswami Tulsidas emphasizes that each individual should choose the spiritual path that resonates most deeply with their heart, as highlighted in the Ramcharitmanas. The balance of Karma, Jnana, and Bhakti is key to true spiritual fulfillment.
The Ramcharitmanas guides sadhakas through four paths—Jnana, Bhakti, Karma, and Sharanagati—toward divine realization or attaining Jnana Drishti. Hanumanji Maharaj exemplifies the synthesis of these paths, providing a roadmap for spiritual seekers.
