Buckte is all about seeing god as an object. The self is not an object, so knowledge of self cannot be acquired like worldly knowledge. However, bacti seeks to objectify the self into a personal god who can be studied and embodied. How are the two paths not in conflict? Two paths not ino the twopaths not in conflict?" says Buckte.
As part of retreat inspired by the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the connection between the path of knowledge and devotion.
