The four Yogas are not antagonistic to one another, but are complimentary. One-sided development is not commendable. Therefore, one should practice the four Yogas. We can have our dominant Yoga as the central basis and can practice the other Yogas as auxillaries to bring in rapid progress on the spiritual path. Guru Bhakti Yoga is practiced throughout, the development of ones relationship with ones Guru using Guru Bhakti Yoga speeds up the process of Self realisation ten-fold. |
