Acharya Prashant explains that Karma Yoga has a straightforward, practical, and simple meaning: whatever you do, do it for the highest purpose. He states that everyone has multiple goals in life, and if asked, they can list them and even prioritize them from highest to lowest. This demonstrates that one inherently knows which goals are higher and which are lower. There is no need for a scripture or a guru to tell you this; you can determine it for yourself. For instance, you can earn money and use it to pay for your child's education, buy gold, or purchase alcohol. The act of earning money is the same, but its purpose changes based on how it is used. The purpose of earning is where the earnings are spent. You yourself know which of these purposes—education, gold, or alcohol—is the highest and which is the lowest. Karma Yoga means working for the highest goal that you are aware of. The scriptural explanation is to do all work for Shri Krishna, but people often get confused about who or where Krishna is. In practical life, Karma Yoga means working for the highest goal you can understand. This highest goal must be something present in your personal life, not an abstract ideal imposed by others. If your highest known goals are your child's fees, gold, and alcohol, you know which one is comparatively the highest. Karma Yoga is to work for that higher purpose and not to expend effort on lower objectives. No objective is fulfilled unless you invest your energy into it. The money you earn is your labor, your action (karma), and where you spend it determines the purpose of that karma. Therefore, dedicating your actions to a lower purpose is the absence of Karma Yoga. Practically, Karma Yoga is about the proper budgeting of your life's resources, such as time and money. You must decide what is necessary and what is unnecessary. Give the largest share of your resources to what is most important and reduce the portion allocated to less important things. This is a gradual, incremental process. The speaker advises making a list of where your resources go, prioritizing them, and then making a resolution to reduce the budget for lower-priority items and increase it for the higher ones. This is the essence of Karma Yoga in practical life. It is a message for those who are honest enough to admit they need improvement and are willing to pay the price for it. For those who are not, the only way is to focus on your own progress, and your transformation will become the light that helps others find their way.
