Devotee: Is there a difference between prapatti (self-surrender) and the Path of Yoga of the Seers?
Ramana Maharishi: Jnana Marga and Bhakti Marga (prapatti) are one and the same. Self-surrender leads to realisation just as enquiry does. Complete self-surrender means that you have no further thought of ‘I’. Then all your predispositions (samskaras) are washed off and you are free. You should not continue as a separate entity at the end of either course.
