How does Chapter 3 compare the spiritual method for the Kali Age to previous ages, and what does it say about its accessibility?

πŸ“– Chapter 3

Chapter 3 draws a clear distinction between the spiritual practices of different eras. It notes that in the Kruta Age, the path was 'control of mind and senses'; in the Treta Age, it was 'sacrifice'; and in the Dwapara Age, it was 'worship'. For the current Kali Age, the text presents 'singing the stories of the Name' as the simple and most effective means for attaining the supreme goal. A key point emphasized throughout Chapter 3 is the universal accessibility of this method. It explicitly states that listening to the stories of the Guru is the one means for all, including "all four castes, from Brahmins onwards," as well as for any "woman, Shudra, or of low caste," making it a truly inclusive spiritual path.
