KarmaYoga As Explained In Bhagwat Geeta

Karma is what you do. Yoga is art. KarmaYoga is art of doing.
KarmaYoga says – Do your duties but do not wish for any result in return. Do your duties and willingly surrender the right to receive in return. Be good to people but do not expect they to be good to you or anything else in return.

Every person has Raja qualities, Tama qualities and Satva qualities. Raja qualities say - ‘I will do it for the result’, Tam qualities say – ‘If I am not going to get any result I wont do it’. Bhagwat Geeta says improve your Satva qualities, do your duties without thinking of the result.
The quality of a work of a person would be better who does things without any expectations as he doesn’t waste time even on imagining getting reward or result of his work. He is totally engrossed in his work. A painter makes painting because he loves doing that. If anyone ask him not to do that he can not live happily. That becomes his dharma. The paintings get him money that becomes its additional benefit.

Saint Pundalik ws busy in serving his parents, God pleased with his service and came to meet him. But Pundalik denied meeting God saying he is busy in serving his parents. That’s the best example of sacrificing result of Karma. Pundalik was so much into doing his Karma that he was least bothered about its result. While performing such Nishkam Karma do not even expect Moksha. Not expecting, not wanting anything is only state of Moksha.

While doing Karma put your heart into it, then you will not be burdened. You wont realize that you are doning something, rather you will enjoy it. Karma did in this way is Akarma.

What you achieve by such Akarma is ultimate joy.  Akarma takes individual and the society to higher level. He becomes idol for others. Such a person don’t sell drugs to earn more. He or she always keep doing things to make the place better to live. Karmayogi doesn’t stop his Krama even though he is contented. If he does that others will stop doing Karma even if they are not contented.


Akarma takes one to Moksha.
