Earning Heaven (and avoiding hell) through Good Works.
Spiritual Evolution from animals to humans to angels.
Mortification of the Body - abstaining from earthly pleasures in order to win Heaven (and avoid hell).
The Path of Knowledge - gaining esoteric knowledge as a path to Enlightenment.
Righteousness - the practise of moral principles to earn God's favor.
All these approaches are centered in the mind.
But the ultimate approach is centered in the heart.
It teaches us to love.
To love God and to love everyone.
For everyone is a Child of God.
