Our Upanishads teach us the paths of karma, upasana, and jnana yogas. The essence of karma yoga (path of action) is to perform all actions with dedication as an offering to the Lord, for His pleasure. Upasana yoga (path of worship) is loving God wholeheartedly with harmony and purity in thought, word, and deed (trikarana suddhi). It is not true upasana if you love God merely to achieve your worldly desires. Devotion should be love for love's sake. The followers of jnana yoga (path of wisdom) should consider the whole universe as manifestation of God. Firm faith that Divinity resides in all beings in the form of Atma is called Jnana. If you wonder how Ekatwa (Oneness) exists with so many different forms, names, different kinds of behaviour, different doctrines, etc., consider the fathomless ocean with infinite waves. Each wave is unique and different from the other in its size and shape, but are all different manifestations of one and the same water, and are also not different from the ocean.
