Karma yoga 11.20 of the "Bhagavata Purana" states that there are only three means to spiritual liberation: "jnana yoga" (knowledge), "karma yoga" (action) and "bhakti yoga" (devotion). Those who are of philosophical bent, prefer the "knowledge path". Those who are inclined to productive application of arts, skills and knowledge, prefer the "karma path". Those who prefer emotional connection, prefer the "devotional path". These three paths overlap, with different relative emphasis. Discussions on Karma yoga are also found in chapter 33 of "Narada Purana". Later, new movements within Hinduism added raja yoga as the fourth spiritual path, but this is not universally accepted
