Karma Yoga - The Art of Living
from: Kevin PedersonThe ancient book of Gita, which is the treatise on the living
has led a great stress on the karma. Karma is defined as the
action and its fruits. Ancient Hindu saints have believed that a
man's life is the direct result of his karma. Good thoughts,
words and deeds lead to good and happy life while bad thoughts,
words and deeds lead a person to disaster. This has been
postulated in the 18th century by Isaac Newton, who gave his law
as "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
The branch of yoga that deals with karma is called as the karma
yoga. Usually you are bound by the cravings and desires
associated with your act but you can free yourself by doing the
act but dissociating yourself from its consequences. This is the
basic concept behind karma yoga and the person who follows this
path is known as karma yogi. His behaviour is of indifference
and while the world may think he is not interested, in reality
he has mastered his desires and has developed awareness of the
real significance of the events that occur around him.
This yoga involves doing your duty without any reservations but
is free of the cravings of the results that are obtained from
the act. This attitude is difficult to acquire because we are
taught to hanker after the fruits of the labour and any failure
to obtain the desired results leads you to frustration and
negative thinking. Also, constant attachment to the results
leads you to stress, competition and aggressiveness. This has
led to increased incidences of stress, diabetes, depression,
heart ailments and suicides and has led many youngsters to use
drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. Hence following the teaching of
Krishna in Gita, wherein he advises Arjun: "You are entitled to
an action but not its fruits" will lead you to a happy and
stress free life.
A karma yogi realizes this and hence he follows the path of
detachment. But this does not make him dull or inefficient. On
the contrary, he channelizes his entire energy into the tasks at
hand with complete vigour as his energy is not dissipated and
gives it a best shot. Hence the results of his actions are the
best and he gets good fruits. He does not run after pleasure but
pleasure follows him. This makes him a pleasant person to be
around and thus enjoys success in his life.
