There are four basic paths to liberation in Classical Hinduism. The paths are referred to as yoga. Yoga is ancient techniques for spiritual realization that is found in many eastern religions. Yoga has four different paths that lead to spiritual enlightenment. The first path is known as Karma yoga. Karma yoga is service rendered without any interest in its fruits and without any personal sense of giving. The yogi knows that it is the Absolute who performs all actions, and that these actions are gifts to the Absolute. The consciousness leads to liberation from self in all of the actions (Fisher 2002). Karma yoga is about action in duty. They believe that you do your duty simply because it is your duty and without attachment to the benefits it has to offer. They believe that if you don’t do your duty that human beings will be destroyed and great harm will be done. They also believe that by doing your duty without benefiting that you burn up karma, and when you burn up all your karma you get detached and get out of the cycle of reincarnation.
