Four Paths of Yoga, 4-Part Course

Yoga manifests itself as four major paths, namely Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Rāja Yoga and Jñāna Yoga. These four paths are like the branches of a tree or tributaries of a river. They all have the same source and resting place. In essence, they are all the same.

The only thing that differentiates them is that there is a certain aspect of the mind involved in each particular path or practice.

In Karma Yoga the active aspect of mind is involved; in Bhakti Yoga, the emotional aspect; in Rāja Yoga, the mystical aspect; in Jñāna Yoga, the intellectual aspect.

Looking deeply at our own lives we can see how they might become known to us. When we are full of love for our fellow-humans and nature, we are Bhakti Yogis. When we stand by others and willingly help we are Karma Yogis. When we meditate and experience yoga practices, we are Rāja Yogis; and when we reflect upon the meaning of life and are explorers seeking truth and reality, we are Jñāna Yogis.
