Common Ground: On the Yoga Path

Episode 27: Karma Yoga as a Pathway


Listen Later

This week's episode discusses Karma yoga as one of the 5 pathways.  Karma, in this instance, means "action." The path of Karma Yoga is "the yoga of action, the path of selfless service."  

To be genuinely selfless can be challenging. We share personal struggles and stories of inaction in an effort to be transparent with you all and to show that this doesn't just occur overnight.Karma yoga can be attained when we are in line with our dharma (duty in life) and is an effective means of spiritual development. Give it a listen and share your journey with us! :)

P.S. Here's the quote Sydney shared:

The one who sees inaction in the midst of action, and action in the midst of action is wise and can act in the spirit of yoga. With no desire for success, no anxiety about failure, indifferent to results, this person burns up their actions in the fire of wisdom. Surrendering all thoughts of outcome, unperturbed, self-reliant, this person does nothing at all, even when fully engaged in actions. There is nothing this person expects, nothing that this person fears. Serene, free from possessions, untainted, acting with the body alone, content with whatever happens, unattached to pleasure or pain, success or failure, this person acts and is never bound by those actions. When a person has let go of attachments, and is grounded in wisdom, everything this person does is an act of sacred joy, and all actions melt away.” ~ Bhagavad Gita ch. 4 v. 18-22
