Yoga of Selfless Action

Yoga of selfless Action

                   .    ( Nishkam Karm Yog)

Lord Krishna explains that no one can refrain from activity even for a moment. Inactive persons cannot maintain even their existence. One who externally restrains his hands, legs and other senses of action, is a fool. Know him to be hypocrite. He advises us to perform our prescribed duties, since to be active is better than idleness.

Superior is the person who has stabilized his senses by mind and engaged in the yoga of selfless action. Lord Krishna says that the Yoga of selfless action leads one to become my devotee, who is guaranteed all his necessities to be fulfilled by God.

Selfless duty performed as an Offering to the Supreme Lord is called Sacrifice or YAJNA. All action performed for any other purpose is the cause of bondage in the world of repeated births and death.
