Karma Yoga

Karma Yoga 

Karma yoga, also known as Buddhi Yoga, the "doctrine of" baziruescheesya on the Bhagavad-Gita - the sacred Sanskrit scripture of Hinduism. Karma yoga is one of the four pillars of yoga as such, and focuses on the commitment to duty (dharma) while remaining impartial in relation to all the worldly. It is believed that man can attain moksha (liberation), or the love of God (bhakti) by performing their duties without a shadow of selfishness in order to meet the Creator. Karma Yoga is an optional element of such systems, originating from classical yoga, as Natya Yoga. 

Bhagavad Gita gives a summary of the process of the practice of karma yoga. By itself, the Bhagavad-Gita is the head of a more extensive work, known as the Mahabharata, where there is a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and his friend and charioteer - Krishna during the events of dynastic wars. The impulse to communicate is served Ardouny, as he experiences the loss of morale because of the grief and loss that he should suffer, as both warring camps, there are his family and friends. In response, Krishna sheds light on a number of philosophical systems and practices of yoga (including Karma Yoga) through which the fight could still be under the principles of righteousness and justice. 

The word "karma" comes from the Sanskrit kri, meaning "to do", so that in its most basic sense, karma means action, and yoga - union. Thus, karma yoga literary translation as a way of unity through action. It is described as a path of action, reflection and expression, when the practitioner behaves according to his duty (dharma), not recognizing their own selfish desires, likes or dislikes. This action without attachment to the results of actions. 

Krishna describes this work as taking place without expectations, motives or rejection of the fruit. Thus, it can clear the mind of man and make the latter quite objective. He argues that there is no need to remain in the external state of loneliness or inaction, to practice the spiritual life, as the state action or inaction, above all, coordinated intelligence. 

To achieve perfection in life, Krishna speaks of the need to control all the desires of the mind and the tendency to enjoy the pleasures derived through the senses. The practice of Karma Yoga in everyday life makes a man healthy through action, meditation and devotion, making it more acute his mind, developing the intuitive power of knowledge and transcendent consciousness. 

Like many other philosophies of Hinduism, karma yoga is based on a shared understanding of karma and reincarnation (samsara). It is believed that a person is born with the positive and negative karma, which he accumulates in previous lives, and that push e th at certain things in this life. This process continues for as long as the person does not get a zero balance in which karma is not at all, then that person gets released. 

Shankarcharya said that during the practice of karma yoga, the mind is cleared. Thus, he describes the karma-yoga as a way to jnana-yoga, and jnana yoga already leads as a result of human-to Moksha or implementation. 

The Hindu holy Hindu Saint Mata Amritanandamayi says this: "Beauty and the attractiveness of unselfish love and service should not disappear from the face of the earth. The world must know that life in devotion is possible, as well as life, inspired by love and service to humanity. Meditation and studying the scriptures are two sides of one coin. The inscription on this coin is the unselfish service, and this is what gives it real value. Our sympathy and an act of self-sacrifice leads us to the depths of truth. Through the impersonal service, we can uproot the roots of the ego, which obscures Ya dispassionate, impersonal action leads to liberation. This action is not just a job, it - karma yoga.
