	~~INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN~~		From the beginning of karma-yoga to the end of bhakti-yoga is a long way to self-realization. Karma-yoga, without fruitive results, is the beginning of this path. When karma-yoga increases in knowledge and renunciation, the stage is called jñāna-yoga. The culmination of all kinds of yoga practices lies in bhakti yoga. All other yogas are but means to come to the point of bhakti in bhakti-yoga. Yoga actually means bhakti-yoga; all other yogas are progressions toward the destination of bhakti-yoga.

'''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Besides bhakti-yoga, the Bhagavad-gita also describes karma-yoga, jnana-yoga and dhyana-yoga. Yoga means linking with the Supreme Lord, which is possible only through devotion\|When devotional service is executed with some material purpose, involving fruitive activities, mental speculations or mystic yoga, it is called mixed or adulterated devotional service. Besides bhakti-yoga, the Bhagavad-gītā also describes karma-yoga, jñāna-yoga and dhyāna-yoga. Yoga means linking with the Supreme Lord, which is possible only through devotion. Fruitive activities ending in devotional service, philosophical speculation ending in devotional service, and the practice of mysticism ending in devotional service are known respectively as karma-yoga, jñāna-yoga and dhyāna-yoga. '''(Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 4.21-22)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Better you (Arjuna) continue to perform work like an attached materialist who is not conversant with transcendental knowledge, so that you can recruit men to the path of karma-yoga, or work with transcendental results\| The Personality of Godhead therefore says as follows: "O descendant of Bharata, better you continue to perform work like an attached materialist who is not conversant with transcendental knowledge, so that you can recruit men to the path of karma-yoga, or work with transcendental results." '''(Message of Godhead 2)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Bhakti-yoga itself is so powerful that even an impious man with no assets in karma-yoga or an illiterate with no assets in jnana-yoga can undoubtedly be elevated to the spiritual world if he simply adheres to bhakti-yoga\|According to the opinion of the ācāryas, the word krama-yogopalabdhena indicates that by first performing karma-yoga and then jñāna-yoga and finally coming to the platform of bhakti-yoga, one can be liberated. Bhakti-yoga, however, is so powerful that it does not depend on karma-yoga or jñāna-yoga. Bhakti-yoga itself is so powerful that even an impious man with no assets in karma-yoga or an illiterate with no assets in jñāna-yoga can undoubtedly be elevated to the spiritual world if he simply adheres to bhakti-yoga. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.1.1)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|By this process of karma-yoga, one gradually attains self-purification, then transcendental knowledge, next perfect meditation, and ultimately transcendental service to the Personality of Godhead\|When ordinary work aims at such a transcendental objective, this work is called karma-yoga. By this process of karma-yoga, one gradually attains self-purification, then transcendental knowledge, next perfect meditation, and ultimately transcendental service to the Personality of Godhead. Sometimes a mundane worker is misunderstood to be a tapasvī (renunciant) or a mahātmā (great soul) because of the many austerities he performs to attain his mundane goals. '''(Message of Godhead 2)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Devotees standing on the spiritual platform have no need of such material conceptions of adulterated devotion (like karma and jnana-yoga)\|For those grossly engaged in identifying the body as the self, pious activity, or karma-yoga, is recommended. For those who identify the mind with the self, philosophical speculation, or jñāna-yoga, is recommended. But devotees standing on the spiritual platform have no need of such material conceptions of adulterated devotion. Adulterated devotional service does not directly aim for love of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. '''(Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 4.21-22)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|First a leader has to adopt the principles of karma-yoga in his own life\|The easy path to prosperity opens up when these leaders intelligently put into practice the precepts of karma-yoga. Without first becoming adept at curing one's own disease, why try to treat many patients? This is unreasonable. First a leader has to adopt the principles of karma-yoga in his own life; then he has to diagnose the disease of the people; then the medicine is to be prescribed and the proper diet given. '''(Renunciation Through Wisdom 1.7)'''}}

			{{VaniQuotebox\|From the beginning of karma-yoga to the end of bhakti-yoga is a long way to self-realization. Karma-yoga without fruitive results is the beginning of this path\|The culmination of all kinds of yoga practices lies in bhakti yoga. All other yogas are but means to come to the point of bhakti in bhakti-yoga. Yoga actually means bhakti-yoga; all other yogas are progressions toward the destination of bhakti-yoga. From the beginning of karma-yoga to the end of bhakti-yoga is a long way to self-realization. Karma-yoga, without fruitive results, is the beginning of this path. '''(Bhagavad-gītā 6.47)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE)'''}}~~		{{VaniQuotebox\|In essence there is no difference between sankhya and karma-yoga\|The real student of Sāṅkhya philosophy finds the root of the material world, Viṣṇu, and then, in perfect knowledge, engages himself in the service of the Lord. Therefore, in essence, there is no difference between the two because the aim of both is Viṣṇu. Those who do not know the ultimate end say that the purposes of Sāṅkhya and karma-yoga are not the same, but one who is learned knows the unifying aim in these different processes. '''(Bhagavad-gītā 5.4)'''}}
