Overview
Karma Yoga is when time has stopped for you. Karma Yoga is that the doing is not for some objective outside of itself; the doing itself is the objective. Karma Yoga means: work is life. Karma Yoga is the same as ‘Desireless Action’; which is niśkāma-karma.
In Karma Yoga, you are celebrating your way to success. You are dancing towards victory. You are dancing not towards victory; you are dancing in victory. You are continuously victorious, and you are continuously celebrating.
Can you work without attachment?
Questioner(Q): How will I get motivation to work if I am not attached to the result of the work?
Acharya Prashant (AP): When you come to this hall, you are probably prompted by some desire, aren’t you?
Q: Yes.
AP: There are desires, there are calculations, there are pluses and minuses. You probably weigh the pros and cons. All those things are there. Sometimes there is a nagging question that you want to get rid of, therefore you come. That is how the thing mostly starts.
