To behold the One Divine being, The Supreme Self in the heart all beings is Jnana (Realization); to love the Self in all beings is Bhakti (Devotion); to serve the Self in all beings is Karma, action. When the Jnana Yogi attains wisdom, he is endowed with devotion and selfless activity. Service is for him a spontaneous expression of his spiritual nature, as he sees the one divine essence of himself in all. When the devotee attains perfection in devotion, he is possessed of wisdom and activity. For him also, selfless service is a spontaneous expression of his nature, as he beholds the one Supreme Lord everywhere. The Karma Yogi attains wisdom and devotion when his actions are wholly selfless. The three paths are, in fact, one in which the three different temperaments emphasize one or the other of its inseparable constituents. Yoga supplies the method by which the one Supreme Self can be seen, loved and served. ~ Sri Swami Sivananda
