The Specific Technique in Karma Yoga
The theoretical grounds and techniques of action in Karma Yoga are clearly stated by Kåñna in the Bhagavad Gita, with the only observation that the order in which these ideas are presented is not the most convenient for Western people. Briefly, the wise teachings of Kåñna are:
- One can not be without action, even for a second.
- One should not make inaction one‘s goal.
- Certain actions are obligatory, therefore we cannot escape them.
- One should not desire the fruits (or the consequences) of one‘s actions.
- One should not be attached to the action itself.
- One should not consider oneself as being the author of the action.
- Any action, regardless of its nature, will not enchain its performer, if it is done in this way.
- In fact, we can say that Karma Yoga is the divine skill (wisdom and non-attachment) in actions.
