KRIYA YOGA as per Patañjali

Tapas, svādhyāya and īśvara-pranidhāna are kriyā-yoga; these three support an individual on the yogic path. They are enough to achieve the final goal, Realization. Kriyā means action; Yoga means union with the Eternal Truth. The action, which leads to Realization, is kriyā-yoga.
