From the Preface: “...A Brief idea of what is meant by Yoga: This word, which sounds strange to Westerb ears, is nevertheless an old friend in a foreign dress. Its literal meaning is ‘To join’, and it has the same root (Yug) behind it as our own familiar word ‘yoke’. When Yoga is used technically, it signifies union of the human with the Divine, and the particular name given to that union (or Yoga) stands for the method by which it is attained. Hence, Karma Yoga means the endeavor to reach Divine realization through unselfish work.
