The More Well-Rounded You Are, the Better

Imagine that you're on a road trip, driving towards a beautiful mountain range. As you get closer, you notice that there are several different routes to take to reach the place. Each route offers its own unique scenery and challenges along the way.

Similarly, the Yogi philosophy teaches that there exist different paths to reach the ultimate goal of development, growth and unfolding. Just as you might choose a route based on your personal preferences and abilities, each of us chooses a path that suits our individual temperament, personality, and disposition. What works for one person, won’t necessarily work for another.

So, if you were on the Yogi road trip and you get to that point where you have to choose which way to go, there are three options, known as The Threefold Path by the Yogis:

- Raja Yoga, or the path of mental development

- Karma Yoga, or the path of right-action

- Gnani Yoga, or the path of wisdom
