There are four different paths of yoga. They are Karma Yog, Jnan Yog, Bhakti Yog, and Raj Yog. All of these lead the sadhak to ultimate goal of life, which is nirvana means emancipation, liberation from the cycle of birth and death, and attainment of the ultimate truth of the existence. All these paths are sufficient and full of benefits in themselves. But this selection should be according to the goal and nature of the sadhak or seeker.
