Desireless action (Bhagavad Gita) - strips you of motivation.
Karma Yoga, as taught by Swami Vivekananda and expounded in the Chapter 4 of the Bhagavad Gita, is a path of selfless action performed without attachment to the results. It emphasises the idea of offering one’s actions to a higher power or the greater good, without seeking personal gain or being affected by the outcomes. Karma Yoga is a way of spiritualising all actions in secular life; work, relationships, mundane activities, entertainment are all to be offered to Divinity and everything that results is to be taken as Prasāda. Chapter 9 of the Bhagavad Gita delves into the concept of Prasāda as the fruit of action offered with devotion. It emphasises the importance of recognising the divine presence, surrendering one’s actions, and experiencing the transformative power of divine grace in one’s life. Desire less work, knowledge and devotion to the cosmic force must be seen as complementary practices.
