God knowledge is the mean and God realization is the end (by Ketav Mehta - Barrie)

When we know the difference between what is right and what is not, from that time on we want to do what we know is right. It is at this point where we want to devote ourselves to the Almighty, God because we are anxious and eager to attain the Supreme knowledge. The Sant Nirankari Mission first introduces man to God and then leaves it to him to lead a Godly life. According to the Mission, total surrender to God after knowing is true devotion. The Mission holds that devotion is not a means to know God, but having known God, it is a way of life for the devotee , who thereafter is ever expressing his heart felt gratitude for the bounties he has received. Such devotion is not subject to the limitations of rituals, time or place. To the Nirankaris, knowledge of God is not the end, but the beginning of devotion. It is after that we attain knowledge that we apply this knowledge in our day to day life and we devote our self to God. In all the religious texts like “Bhagwad Gita,” “Bible,” “Koran,” etc. the main teaching is to live in peace and to distribute our love. One such way to achieve all these as shown in the holy books is to get supreme knowledge, to preach the Master’s teachings and to pray to Him without any ulterior motive. This is what the Nirankari Mission preaches and the path which leads us to Babaji’s message. He shows us the path where we can know God. He does this by making us aware that God is unconditioned Love: we will know Him when we grow in Love. God is infinite Knowledge: we will know Him when we evolve in Knowledge. God is universal, enormous, and infinite Life: we will know Him when we universalize our minds, render cosmic our feelings, and become, in inner consciousness, one with all Life. Know God, the supreme Reality of all existence, in whatsoever way your inner endowment permits. Such knowledge alone can release you from the anxieties and gears that characterize the human mind. It will pour into your mortal life the Essences of the Immortal Being and invest you with a rare grace, power, light, peace, joy, and a prosperity that persists and grows. It is after we receive this knowledge that we apply it. This is the path that would lead us to salvation. It is this stage that we are not attracted by the luxuries of life and we want to devote our time to God and thereby lead a simple life.
