It is the path of action, often suited to people with an outgoing nature. It teaches you to act selflessly, without seeking personal gain or reward, and thus purifies the heart. By letting go of attachment to results and offering the fruits of your actions to God, the ego is gradually refined and uplifted.<\/p><p>Karma Yoga is the practice of selfless service, through which the mind is purified quickly and its limitations are overcome. The karma yogi applies him- or herself both physically and mentally, aiming to dissolve ego and attachment, serve others without expecting anything in return, and recognize unity within diversity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42e1155 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"42e1155\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56e0aa11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-template\" data-id=\"56e0aa11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"template.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-template\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"container\" data-elementor-id=\"5384\" class=\"elementor elementor-5384\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14639b91 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"14639b91\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e735140 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3e735140\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-158e9451 elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"158e9451\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;],&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;fas fa-square-full&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;fa-solid&quot;,&quot;rendered_tag&quot;:&quot;&lt;svg class=\\&quot;e-font-icon-svg e-fas-square-full\\&quot;

Our eyes may be closed, but our minds will be restless. As detachment increases, it is easier to disassociate from our activities when we meditate, and the mind remains unperturbed; it will have been trained to focus inwardly at all times.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5afcc05a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5afcc05a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74d4f5f5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"74d4f5f5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-216d47e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"216d47e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Secret of Work: Work Becomes Worship<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69b79795 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"69b79795\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac0b7f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ac0b7f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31337c30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31337c30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the most powerful ways to learn detachment is through the practice of karma yoga, or selfless service; detachment is learned fully only when we have learned to serve. <\/p><p>A Karma Yogi knows the secret of work: to perform work for work\u2019s sake without any motive, and for the sake of the common good in a spirit of sacrifice, with neither attachment nor egoism.

It is working without thinking that the work we may be doing is beneath us, and not expanding with pride because of the type of work we are doing. Feel instead: This person has given me the opportunity to serve. I am thankful. <\/p><p>Equanimity is having the ability to leave a task without regret and without the feeling of ownership, being able to move from one task to another without grumbling or feeling hard done by. <\/p><h3>Being an instrument of a higher power<\/h3><p>Look upon yourself as merely an instrument of a higher power: consider that you are only an agent in whatever you do. This path is characterized by the surrender of the will, and the dedication of all actions to this higher power. When you serve others you are in fact serving this higher power directly. In this light, all actions become sacred. <\/p><h3>Working without expectation of reward<\/h3><p>Work without expectation of reward, without expectation of thanks, without motive. Try to work for others without thought of personal gain. Work unselfishly and with disinterest, taking delight in serving others whether they are your employer, your family, or your friends. Try not to expect even the return of love, appreciation, gratitude, or admiration from the people whom you serve or for whom you work. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-402adbf1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"402adbf1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5da98a36 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5da98a36\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1830409 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1830409\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Karma Yoga in the Bhagavad Gita<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c28623c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2c28623c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70886c39 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"70886c39\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-334a5d90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"334a5d90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Action, non-doership, and renunciation<\/h3><p>The Bhagavad Gita is an exposition of three of the main paths of yoga \u2013 Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga \u2013 and is a practical guide for life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22fecde elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"22fecde\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"Action performed as duty, without attachment, without love or hate, without desire for fruit, is called pure.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Bhagavad Gita XVIII-23<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-047405a elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"047405a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"Free from attachment, not egotistical, endowed with firmness and enthusiasm, unaffected in success and failure, that person is called pure.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Bhagavad Gita XVIII-26<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b49f579 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b49f579\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Bhagavad Gita teaches that an action is completely selfless when that action is performed, to the best of one&#8217;s ability, with the feeling that one is not the doer but that God works through the body and the mind;
