Solution

The text that dramatizes an unorthodox view of how people may achieve release from samsara through bhakti is the "Bhagavad Gita". This is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata.

  1. The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis of Hindu ideas about dharma, theistic bhakti, and the yogic paths to moksha.
  2. The text covers jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga (spoken of in the 6th chapter) incorporating ideas from the Samkhya-Yoga philosophy.
  3. Bhakti, here, is used as a means of spiritual realization and of attaining the spiritual kingdom of God. It is a spiritual path described in the Bhagavad Gita that one can attain by simply surrendering oneself to God and by performing duties without anticipation of results.
  4. The Bhagavad Gita, thus, presents an unorthodox view of release from samsara, which is the cycle of death and rebirth, through the path of devotion (bhakti) towards God.
