Yoga philosophy prescribes four spiritual paths to attain knowledge of the Self:
Karma-Yoga, the path of selfless action; Bhakti-Yoga, the path of devotion; Raja-Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation; and Jnana-Yoga, the path of knowledge and discrimination(1/5)
Karma-Yoga, the path of selfless action; Bhakti-Yoga, the path of devotion; Raja-Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation; and Jnana-Yoga, the path of knowledge and discrimination(1/5)
Karma-Yoga says that our egotistic, selfish actions have created walls around us.These walls not only set us apart from others,but they divide us from our true Self within. By performing actions in a selfless manner, we can break down the walls that separate us from the Self(2/5)
Bhakti-Yoga asks us to purify and transform our egotistic self-love by pouring holy thoughts into our mind and transferring all our love and emotions to God, knowing that God is the only one who truly loves us(3/5)
Raja-Yoga asks the seeker to develop strong will power by the relentless practices of concentration and meditation on the Self, with the support of pranayama, or control of breath, asana, or control of posture, and an uncompromising adherence to austerity and self-control(4/5)
Jnana-Yoga persuades the seeker that his or her sole identity is the Self. By hearing about the Self,reading about the Self,and meditating on the Self,the mind gradually realizes that the Self is the only reality in this universe and that all else is unreal(5/5)
