4. Karma Yoga
It is path chosen primarily by those of an
outgoing/action-oriented nature.
It purifies the heart by teaching the
aspirant to act selflessly, without thinking
of any personal gain or reward.
By detaching yourself from the fruits of
your actions and offering them up to God,
you learn to sublimate the ego.

5. According to Bhagavad Gita, “Karma Yoga” is
the selfless devotion of all your inner as well as outer
activities as the Sacrifice to the Lord of all works, offered
to the eternal as the Master of all the Soul’s energies and
austerities.
Each and every Karma begets an immediate result called
Karma Phala and leaves behind a
Samaskara or deep impression on the Chitta.

6. Karma Yoga
Karma refers to ‘actions’
which include both overt
actions and inner
experiences.

7. Karma Yoga
The scriptures say even
the Gods cannot escape
the Karma Phala.
But the real problem
maker for man is the
Samskara.

8. Man becomes free from Samskara only after it
has fetched its fruits/consequences. The fruit or
consequence may be in the form of another
Karma (action or experience) which in turn
creates further Samskara and a further Karma.
In other words, whatever karma we perform, we
have to pay for the consequences – enjoy the
pleasure if the Karma is good, or suffer the pain, if
the Karma is bad.
