Karma Yoga
The path of selfless action
đUnderstanding Karma Yoga
Karma Yoga is the spiritual path of selfless action, where work itself becomes a form of worship. Rather than renouncing activity, the karma yogi performs their duties with full dedication while releasing attachment to the outcomes. This path recognizes that we cannot escape actionâeven inaction is a form of actionâso we might as well transform our inevitable work into a vehicle for spiritual growth.
