| Karma yoga basically
consists of entirely selfless service, in which the Ego
is given up to the desire to serve God in every thing, be it
man, animal or plant.
Karma Yoga is also the path
of doing the right thing, of following ones' personal Dharma
and accepting destiny as it comes. If the Karma Yogi is a
householder, he will accept that role as much as he would
accept the role of a servant to any in need, without seeking
any remuneration in the shape of wealth, satisfaction, name
or fame.
Karma
means action, including all acts done by the individual from
birth to death. One who is not attached to his actions and
performs actions because they are unavoidable, performs karma
with a disinterested interest and does not adopt wrong means.
Karma performed by right
means does not harm anybody and is in accordance with the
law of dharma. That is karma yoga.
Some people think karma has something to do
with karma sutra, but such a thing does not exist. Only the
kama sutra exists, with the Kama being the god of desires.
That is an entirely different story.
