The goal of life is really knowledge, of the reality of things. We are apt to think that it is pleasure, and seeking pleasure in sense-gratification, we meet with so many disappointments and sorrows that we sometimes almost despair and are led to believe that all life is a vain dream with no sure foundation anywhere. It is an endless chain of cause and effect in which we are involved, and from which only knowledge of how to act without producing reaction can ever free us. Karma Yoga is meant to teach us exactly this, to make clear to us first the causes of our bondage, and secondly the method of getting rid of the causes and to avoid the effects.

From ancient times, people of the Indian subcontinent have practiced spiritual disciplines designed to clear the mind and support a state of serene, detached awareness. The practices for developing this desired state of balance, purity, wisdom, and peacefulness of mind are known collectively as yoga. Yoga means "yoke" or "union" - referring to union with the true Self, the goal described in the Upanishads. The sages distinguished four basic types of people and developed yogic practices that are particularly suitable for each type, in order that each man can attain the desired union with the Self. For rational people, there is Jnana Yoga, the path of rational inquiry. For meditative people, there is Raja Yoga, the path of mental concentration. For naturally active people, there is Karma Yoga, the path of right action. For emotional people, there is Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion. One Volume: 648 pages.
