Bhakti is the Mother of Jnana

"Leave it to God. Surrender unreservedly. One of two things must be done. Either surrender because you admit your inability and require a higher power to help you, or investigate the cause of misery by going to the source and merging into the Self. Either way you will be free. God never forsakes one who has surrendered....

"You say you offer your body, soul and all possessions to God. Were they yours to offer? At best, you can only say, 'I falsely imaged till now that all these which are Yours were mine. Now I realize they are Yours.' This realization that there is nothing but God, or the Self, and that 'I' and 'mine' don't exist, is Jnana. Thus there is no difference between Bhakti (devotional surrender) and Jnana (non-dualist realization). Bkakti is Jnana Mata, the Mother of Jnana...."

"Leave everything entirely to Him. His is the burden, you have no loner any cares. All your cares are His. Such is surrender. This is Bhakti. Or, enquire as to whom these questions arise. Divine deep into the Heart and remain as the Self. One of these two ways is open the the aspirant."

~Sri Ramana Maharshi
