Taking into account human temperament , four classical paths have been created for human beings to develop spiritually and attain enlightenment.

Karma Yoga ( the path of action), Jnana yoga (the path of the intellect) , Bhakti yoga (path of emotion), and raja yoga ( path of meditation) are these four.

So based on one's temperament and individual preferences, a person can choose the path or paths which is suited for him. For example, a physically active person also interested in intellectual activity can choose karma yoga and jnana yoga as paths suited for him.

Bhatki yoga deals with emotion, and love for God.

Most religions around the world belong to the category of Bhakti yoga and karma yoga emphasizing love and self-less service for spiritual transformation.

Sadhguru had elaborated on Bhakti yoga in this article...
