Vivekananda mentions clearly in his works that working out salvation by individual modes. Of course I don't have real life examples but that doesn't prove itsn't possible. I know some people who work round the clock without expecting much from companies and couple of them are ardent atheists and I bet they wouldn't know anything about Brahman. For them work is worship. Those are real karma yogis IMO. Krsna clearly says people breaking the cycles of birth, death and rebirth in Bhagavad Gita through Karma yoga. I believe salvation can be met through individual modes. Realisation of Brahman directly in your own framework of body and mind doesn't need bhakti ..karma may be yes because your actions should have made you ready to realise Brahman. Your understanding of Karma yoga seems to be different from mine. I'll stop here else this thread will turn like most here.
