Acharya Prashant clarifies that Karma Yoga is not about setting worldly targets, such as qualifying for an examination, and then working toward them without thinking of the results. He explains that Karma Yoga is a moment-to-moment practice of being utterly conscious of where one's action is coming from and what it aims to achieve. It is a continuous process of questioning whether an action is intended to feed and fatten the ego or if it serves a larger purpose, such as Shri Krishna or selfless service. He emphasizes that Karma Yoga is about exercising the choice of action very consciously in every dynamic moment of life. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant highlights that spirituality is a living reality rather than a bundle of concepts or principles. He asserts that Shri Krishna's Bhagavad Gita is not a system of thought but is about something alive in the heart that watches every movement. He warns that the Bhagavad Gita is often misunderstood, and since it represents the highest hope for a seeker, misunderstanding it can be very damaging. He advises that holy scriptures must be read repeatedly because initial personal interpretations are often misplaced. One must remain a student and continuously peel off layers of ignorance, as the ego often tries to believe it has already understood the scriptures.
