Karma Yoga lays emphasis on selfless action and
service. The underlying message of Karma Yoga is very clear- humans must
always work in harmony with the great power that controls and runs the
universe. If we follow this we are no longer egotistically motivated. At
the same time we no longer maintain obsessive desires in relation to the
future. With the eradication of compulsive or obsessive desire, we are
able to live in the present and at the same time can plan for the
future. This planning about future is independent of boundation to the
future.
We all know that every logical desire carries within itself the motive
force for its fulfillment i.e. while doing different works we tend to
think about their results in future. In the process we are
subconsciously pushed towards it or attract it to ourselves. The most
important aspect of the Yogic philosophy is that it is not against
intelligent planning. It lays emphasis only on relinquishing egotistic
desires. In this way we are more open to practical aspects of inner
guidance. As we work with a cheerful attitude, doing what we are best
suited to do, we know a harmony and an inner peace which those who
strive and struggle can never know.
