The aim of karma yoga (the yoga of action) is to keep one’s mind on God during all work, action and service. It is based on the yogic concept of karma (cause and effect) which explains that one’s present circumstances are the result of one’s past thoughts, feelings and actions. Working with a positive motive is key to success in karma yoga. Learn a practice which can be used throughout the day. By employing concepts and techniques of karma yoga, one’s life can be significantly improved.
One principle of karma yoga is to do everything with a positive motive. This includes all your physical actions, the words you speak and the thoughts you think. Cultivate a kind and loving attitude in your thoughts, speech and actions. Employing a positive motive in all you do can change your life.
The first practice which I recommend is to feel that you are actually working for God. Have the attitude when you go to work in the morning: I work for You. I offer this day of work to You, Lord. At the end of your workday: Lord, this work I have done today was an offering of my love and energy. Remind yourself of this attitude during the day by chanting: For You, for You, for You.
We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
