In 1964, Master of Yoga Dr. George King was asked to explain what is meant to:

“…spread yourself in sacrificial action throughout your suffering World.”

which is a line from the Sixth Blessing. In his response he says the following:

“These are the two great forms of yoga in these days. Karma yoga means ‘Union with God through action’ for the world as a whole. Bhakti yoga means ‘Union with God through the expression of love.’

“By performing The Twelve Blessings we are performing Bhakti yoga, as much as we are sending out love and power and blessing to the world as a whole. And this is now, and always has been actually, one of the highest forms of all yoga. Karma yoga is a yoga of action—not theory, but physical action in every way—and every selfless service you do for another is a sacrificial action.”
