Signification: – On the other hand, he is controlling the organs of sense and action by the power of his will, and remaining unattached, undertakes the Yoga of selfless action through those organs, Arjuna, he excels. Wow! What beautifully Lord Krishna has conveyed the message related to Karma yoga to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. But what is Karmayoga in layman language? Before understanding Karma yoga it is essential to recognize about karma and yoga because only these two words combine to form the powerful word Karmayoga. Karma yoga is the right direction for the progress of society and an individual. In Bhagwad Gita, the term Karma represents actions and deeds performed by an individual or human beings. Karma means action or work. There are two types of Karma- Niskama Karma- (work) or activities done without expectations of a favorable result or fruit, and the other is Sakama Karma- in which work is done with expectations for a favorable outcome. The karma is performed to control our body, satisfy our desires, for example, to serve our household, pray and perform other spiritual acts and much more. Now, let’s come to Yoga- The term Yoga is formed from the word ”YUJ” which means joining, knotting together, etc. Yoga is commonly considered as the exercise of breathing control, inhaling and exhaling to purify the body or having different body postures, and the exercises to keep the body fit. But in Bhagwat Gita, this term acquires a much deeper signification. The brief meaning of Yoga explained by Lord Krishna is as “Yogah Karmasu Kausalam” which means Kausalam a rare skill, proficiency or technique in performing something. The one who does yoga is identified as Yogi but remember becoming a yogi doesn’t mean to become Sanyasi. There is a distinction between a Yogi and Sanyasi. So, Karmayoga refers to all good, correct human acts implemented with concentration, expertise, and skill for paving the path to salvation (Moksha). It requires your services, activities or deeds to be without any attachment to the temporal world. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna advises Arjuna to perform his work sincerely by applying his skills, techniques, and ability without any intention of favorable results. Karmayoga, as described in the Holy Bhagavad Gita, is the absolute form of a body to attain Moksha. It illustrates to concentrate your strength and ability on the effort needed to achieve the work. Karma yoga makes the living being strong enough so that materialistic happiness doesn’t affect him. The Bhagavad-Gita points out that not for a single moment also an individual abstains from Karma, he is born to perform karma, but it is certainly important that how effectively he performs his karma without expectations. There is no place in karma yoga for selfish actions or wrong deeds. Karmayoga helps society and humankind to come out of the Janam- Mrityu chakra and get Moksha for which he is struggling all through his life.
