The Lord gives a brief resume of the three spiritual disciplines to
reach Brahman - Karma Yoga, path of action for the body, Bhakti
Yoga, path of devotion for the mind and Jnana Yoga, Path of
knowledge for the intellect.
Pursuing the path of action a seeker drops the bulk of the vasanas,
desires. His mind becomes purified. His intellect becomes sharp. He
rises to the path of knowledge and acquires spiritual values. He
develops commitment to God and thus enters the path of devotion.
The three disciplines prepare the seeker for concentration, meditation
upon the Supreme through which he realizes Brahman.

necessary to take the plunge, leaving the choice to him to reflect and
decide his course of action.
