A yogi is greater than the ascetic, greater than the empiricist and greater than the fruitive worker. Therefore, O Arjuna, in all circumstances, be a yogi.

JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport; When we speak of yoga we refer to linking our consciousness with the Supreme Absolute Truth. Such a process is named differently by various practitioners in terms of the particular method adopted. When the linking process is predominantly in fruitive activities it is called karma-yoga, when it is predominantly empirical it is called jnana-yoga, and when it is predominantly in a devotional relationship with the Supreme Lord it is called bhakti-yoga.

The nice thing about bhakti-yoga is that it can be practiced in all circumstances. I cannot always study. I am not always working. But I find that I can always chant. I just have to remember to do it.
