Verse 4.8. of Kena Upanishad is particularly instructive in this regard:

"Brahman Vidya is indeed independent of any other means. Knowledge is the only factor that will eliminate Ignorance. However, what is being acknowledged here is that in practice, it is greatly aided by three other factors: 1. Tapas-Dama-Karma. 2. Vedas. 3. Truth"

Thank you! I would like to introduce my modest opinion about self-realization by practice of karma yoga. I read some texts concerning on karma yoga and how it can be implement. According to my experience I can say that karma yoga is extremely efficiency when your life is full of suffering, betraying, tragedy and others constant challenges, when you have really a bad destiny. Of course it's a very difficult to practice karma yoga in such unlucky circumstances but I believe karma yoga is a spiritual way for everyone who have a bad karma.

In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth , after eons of life times of construct of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist pali canon / texts "marghadi " Buddhas' spoken sound language written Pali Tripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universe are "energies" with influence of the six ( 6 ) aggregates "elements" 1. sound (ears ), 2. taste ( tongue ), 3, smell (nose ) 4. seeing (eyes ). 5. touch (Body ), 6, feelings(heart ), under "causality" cause & effect . The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the Human "Heart Organ " as electrical waves signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy", which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "subconscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy, called "kamma/karma = consciousness + phenomenon in Buddhism.

I can't be as eloquent or knowledgable as the Swami, but I would like to share my modern American Zen journey through this procees. To begin, I would like to paraphrase a truth spoken by the Dalai Lama from a book on The Tibetan Book of the Dead. He said "to truly understand the karma of a situation, you must look at it from a perspective of no technology". So there is the basis for what karma exists in the situation you are pondering, compare it to a no technology world.
What happens to most seekers is that they immediately try to give up technology and go back to the land, forsaking technology. However they soon discover that even using a metal shovel, or a tin roof, incurs the process of metal making, and its associated use in weapons and all those consequences. Once the person involved in karma yoga confronts the extreme complexity of the karmic intertwining, they realize there is only one solution.... surrender to God and ask for his protection. So, playing the karma game is fun when you are young and you think you are getting closer to heavenly perfection, but it becomes the story of Sisyphus, where you think you have pushed the weight up the hill, only for you to be sent back down because of unexpected karmic consequences and complications.
Eventually you must surrender to Krishna (God), ask for His karmic protection, and ask that this be your last life in the material world. Then all you need to do is think the thought "may the Will of Krishna prevail". That is what years of Zen have taught me. Of course, I could have just listened to the teachers when I was young, and learned the easy way; but some of us have egos so big we must learn the hard way. :-) Hare Krishna!
