"""The goal may be distant, but awake, arise and stop not till the goal is reached."Swami Vivekananda was one of the most influential personalities of the 19th century. A charismatic spiritual leader, he influenced generations of youth with his words and deeds. Jnana Yoga speaks of the jnani who acknowledges the unity between the Brahman and the Atman. The devotee is different from the jnani: while the former follows the promptings of the heart, the latter uses the power of the mind to differentiate between the real and the unreal. Jnana Yoga, along with Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Raja Yoga, is considered a classic treatise on Hindu philosophy and reflects Vivekanada's divine insight that has inspired spiritual seekers through the ages.""

The four types of yoga are covered in length in the current book, along with its philosophy, psychology, and practise techniques. It provides a comparison of the four yogas, outlining their similarities and distinctions. By destroying the ego, karma yoga, also known as the yoga of selfless action, aims to address the issue of ignorance. We are tethered to this world by attachment because of the ego, which was born out of ignorance. The practise of bhakti yoga involves inward purification. Bhakti-central yoga's thesis is that love is the most fundamental human emotion. Love is cosmocentric and divinely inspired in its most pure form. Raja-yoga ignites the flame of awareness of the self within in order to reach the Divine.
