Often vedantian claim only knowledge can burn (i heard I dont know exactly)the seed of desire and Yagik Karma only leads to desire fulfillment so Gyan kanda is superior or only true way to liberation.
To my own surprise I find Karma Kanda superior (it sounds nothing less than Andhabiswas)
-When everything is 1 even maya is part of Brahaman and this 3 out of 4 states are reality too including seeds of desire, then nothing is left to burn.
-Yagik Karma unlike method of knowledge is performed at particular time with perfect notes and prescribed words and group of words, which are capable of producing effects in brain, even activate past memories. While knowledge is past, it is not present, it is invocation of memory only. It can lead to Yagik Karma at best or functioing in the same style as previous however memory is memory at best it helps to function and at worst it leads to sorrow (remembering sadness it produces effect of sadness, remembering happiness it produce sorrow by knowing why that is not in present).
Etc.
(just random thoughts, can be entirely wrong )
I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...
