Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Law of Karma and Reincarnation are the two basic elements of our Vedic Religion.According to a Person's deeds in his/her previous birth, the Person is reborn. Like a programmed machine, the Person does the actions that are planned for in this life . All the joys and sorrows in this life are according to the precise "Script". *Jivathma* is the doer and *Paramathma* ( Supersoul or Manasakshi) is the witness. If Jivathma is a drop of water, Paramthma is an ocean .
So, there is no point in relaxing that "Everything is Brahmam" . Just bookish knowledge about the *Brahmam* is not sufficient. Specific efforts under the guidance of a Vedic-Guru ( Acharya) is necessary to attain true *Brahma-Jananam* . In previous ages, there were many Rishis who were committed to work as Vedic-Gurus.In the present age, we do not have access to Rishis. They appear only on very rare occasions like Kumbh-Mela.
So, the only option left for us is Bhakti-yoga. Bhagavan Sri Krishna ( the complete embodiment of Brahmam)out of compassion to His Bhaktas , has recommended *Nama-Japam* as the means to attain God-realization . This is the only way-of-escape for human. Everything else is just imitation.
Bhagavan Sri Krishna says in Srimad Bhagavad Gita (18.62):
"I am situated in everyone's heart (as Paramathman or Super-soul) . Take refuge in Me with loving Bhakti. By M grace , My Bhakta shall attain supreme peace and the eternal abode. "
