The Gita describes three separate paths of Yoga which may be followed individually by persons of different temperaments. However, it does not mean that a single particular path has to be pursued rigidly by a certain individual. The practice of a particular path by an individual depends, by and large, upon the nature of the practitioner. In actual practice, these paths cannot be practiced in isolation, but these have to be intertwined to achieve the final goal.

To start with, one has to practise a particular path, influenced by his innate temperament. For instance, an action-oriented person should follow the path of action or Karma Yoga. But while doing so, he needs knowledge in order to discriminate between the right and wrong action. Besides, he also needs to practise devotion, in some form or the other. Similarly, a man of knowledge or devotion has to perform action, as no one can remain without action.

There is a saying that action without knowledge is blind and knowledge without action is lame.

Either cannot succeed without the help of the other. The purity acquired through right action and right knowledge would lead to devotion. Similarly, a person of sincere devotion acquires purity and right knowledge and therefore, would perform right actions.

Thus right knowledge, right action and true devotion cannot be separated and all these three paths have to be fused together in spiritual practice. Thus the triple path of Yoga works together to form a single movement of self-offering to the Supreme. The Gita propounds a magnificient synthesis of various strands of spirituality and paves the way for a harmonious development of human personality towards perfection.

Action, Knowledge and Devotion are blended together for the divine fulfilment of man.
