Karma Yoga is in the Mind

Swamiji tells us that we must evolve our intelligence more in order to relate scriptural statements to our life and make our sadhana wholesome, deep, and purifying.

All beings are made active by the 3 gunas of Prakriti. Every creature is performing some action just as the elements of nature are also performing their functions. A resolute and well-resolved state of intelligence matters in karma yoga as all karmas are conceived and generated by our mind itself. Make the mind the constant focus and purify and enrich the mind and realize the self, says Swamiji. It is possible to remain self-poised, self-focused, and self-delighted. There is no duty for such a person.

Buddhi is what is important, and we must develop our intelligence to keep reflecting on the supreme truth. This is the real goal of life, and we will achieve it naturally and progressively with constant practice.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

यस्त्वात्मरतिरेव स्यादात्मतृप्तश्च मानवः ।
आत्मन्येव च सन्तुष्टस्तस्य कार्यं न विद्यते ।।
