cannot be used in the same sense as  bhaja . Worship means to adore, or to show respect and honor to the worthy one. But service with love and faith is especially meant for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One can avoid worshiping a respectable man or a demigod and may be called discourteous, but one cannot avoid serving the Supreme Lord without being thoroughly condemned. Every living entity is part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and thus every living entity is intended to serve the Supreme Lord by his own constitution. Failing to do this, he falls down. The  Bhāgavatam  confirms this as follows:
ya eşām puruşam sākṣād ātma-prabhavam īśvaram na bhajanty avajānanti sthānād bhraṣtā patanty adhaḥ.
“Anyone who does not render service and neglects his duty unto the Primeval Lord, who is the source of all living entities, will certainly fall down from his constitutional position.”
In this verse also the word  bhajanti  is used. Therefore,  bhajanti  is applicable to the Supreme Lord only, whereas the word “worship” can be applied to demigods or to any other common living entity. The word  avajānanti , used in this verse of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , is also found in the  Bhagavad-gītā :  avajānanti māṁ mūḍhāḥ : “Only the fools and rascals deride the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Kṛṣṇa.” Such fools take it upon themselves to write commentaries on the  Bhagavad-gītā  without an attitude of service to the Lord. Consequently they cannot properly distinguish between the word  bhajanti  and the word “worship.”
The culmination of all kinds of  yoga  practices lies in  bhakti-yoga . All other  yogas  are but means to come to the point of  bhakti  in  bhakti-yoga .  Yoga  actually means  bhakti-yoga ; all other  yogas  are progressions toward the destination of  bhakti-yoga . From the beginning of  karma-yoga  to the end of  bhakti-yoga  is a long way to self-realization.  Karma-yoga , without fruitive results, is the beginning of this path. When  karma-yoga  increases in knowledge and renunciation, the stage is called  jñāna-yoga . When  jñāna-yoga  increases in meditation on the Supersoul by different physical processes, and the mind is on Him, it is called  aṣṭāṅga-yoga . And, when one surpasses the  aṣṭāṅga-yoga  and comes to the point of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kṛṣṇa, it is called  bhakti-yoga , the culmination. Factually,  bhakti-yoga  is the ultimate goal, but to analyze  bhakti-yoga  minutely one has to understand these other  yogas . The  yogī  who is progressive is therefore on the true path of eternal good fortune. One who sticks to a particular point and does not make further progress is called by that particular name:  karma-yogī ,  jñāna-yogī  or  dhyāna-yogī ,  rāja-yogī ,  ha
