Vinayka > Namaste, They, as all the yogas are only separate early on the path. As one progresses in one's yoga the paths meet at the top of the hill. For example the purpose of Karma Yoga is to see all people as the same as oneself. As long as it is done as nishkarma karma, or no sense of 'I am doing Seva etc', it reduces the egos sense. Once the ego sense is reduced to nothing, so is the mind. From there is is but a short step to Moksha..................ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
