GOD
Chapter 4
9. Practice with faith in the period of ignorance is called bhakti (the path of Devotion); the same, with knowledge, is called jnana (the path of Wisdom). Of the two divisions of bhakti, the one is devotion to God with name and form, and the other is karma which is love for all. Of the two divisions of jnana, the practice of the true way shown by the master is called yoga and the resulting state is called jnana (knowledge). It is natural for all to believe in something which is not seen and then to find it. Those who do not believe can never find. Therefore, the believers will gain something sometime or other and the unbelievers never gain anything. You can believe even for the simple reason that faith in God is not harmful. Thereby you share the good effects. This world is meant only for creating faith in you. This is the purpose of creation. Have faith and you can reach God.
10. Though you may not believe all that is said of God, believe at least "there is God." This seed is very potent in its growth. It is so mighty as to negate all else and fill all by itself. It is so almighty that you will not see anything besides God, not even yourself. Truly, God is all.
