Jnana Yoga & Karma yoga are complementary - 3-8
Yah tu indriyani manasa niyamya arabhate arjuna I
Karmendriyaih karma yogam askatah sah vishishyate II sloka 7
यः तु इन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्य आरभते अर्जुन ।
कर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्म योगं असक्तः सः विशिष्यते ।। श्लोक ७
But he who, subduing the senses by the mind, O Arjuna, begins to practise Karma yoga through the organs of action and who is free from attachment - he excels.
Consequently, he who, with aspiration to have the vision of the self, directs his senses to action according to the scriptures, such action being of the same class as those which he practised earlier, and who then begins to practise Karma Yoga, after renouncing attachment, with the senses which are naturally inclined to action - he, by reason of there being no chance of errors, excels a man following jnana yoga, because there is no fear of a fall in his case.
