Karmayog

There is not a single moment in which we are living without doing our Karma!

 "If knowledge is better than karma then why do you want me to do my karma!”, Arjuna asked to Lord Krishna with all the perplexity in mind.

To this, Lord Krishna replies-

There are two types of faiths in this world-One is Sankhyayog which is related to knowledge, and attained by controlling our senses while focusing in god. This happens through Gyanyog and hence the person is called as a saint or the learned one. Second is Karmayog which is related to just performing your own deeds without expecting in return.

Not dedicated towards doing the deeds is also marked as committing a deed! Till the time we live on this earth and have a life, we are bound to do our karma. The one who just dramatizes that he is fasting but keeps on dreaming about the food throughout the day with his senses, is called as a deceitful person and god doesn’t consider that as a fast. The person who truly focuses his mind in all the deeds, without having any kind of greed or expectation in return, will only be considered as a Karmayogi.

Offering prayers to God in the form of fire is called as Yagnas which makes him happy. He will fulfill all your wishes without even you asking for them. On the contrary, the one who does yagna but doesn't pray to god with all this senses, and still keeps the expectation in return, is called as a burglar. That is why before entering into anything auspicious occasion, we chant god’s name and perform Yagnas. It is a medium connecting humans to the God.

Everything is give and take in this world, expecting a result without having contributed anything, is called as a manipulation. The ones who consumes food offered to gods after yagnas, becomes free form all the sins! Are we just on this planet to eat and live, if so then what’s the use of this life, do we even understand the purpose of life?! If the grains in the farms stop growing then there will be no life. Food comes from the grains and grains from the rain, rain is a result of offering fire to the gods, which is considered as a part of karma and originates from the Vedas.

Krishna says “Hey Parth, the person who does not do karma, is merely of no use, there is no existence of such person on this earth.  He is ought to take births one after the other and the cycle repeats, but there is no end to his suffering. There is a meaning to the philosophy and education mentioned in Vedas and Granths which teaches us the way of life!!

The person who is engrossed in his own soul, satisfied with his own soul and lives by the way of committing his life towards his duties, no karma is applicable for him, one more big truth of life. The ratio of such people is 1:Crore. These people have already been freed from their deeds because they have gained the power and reached the stage of enlightenment, knowing whats the purpose of this life. 

“A person who attains oneness with god, is not bound by any kind of duties in this world”

Detach yourself from the attachments and work towards the fulfillment of your karma.

There is only one leader but there are thousands followers, so decide who you want to be!

The divine power, the creator, the destroyer, the omnipresent- God, doesn’t have any duty towards the three Lokas, neither there is anything which is out of his reach, still he believes in Karma. That’s is the ultimate reason why he did not deny his role in Mahabharata. His army was with Kauravas but he was with Pandavas, as a guide and mentor of Arjuna in the form of a Charioter!

When almighty is doing his deeds, who are we to escape!
