In this article we will discuss Karma Yoag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karma yoga comes from the Sanskrit word that literally means \u201caction or doing\u201d. Karma yoga is a path of action and it stands for selfless acts done for others. It is believed by some yogis that karma yoga is the best way to develop one&#8217;s spiritual self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karma yoga is the yoga of work or action, and this path is specifically oriented with dedicated work wherein an individual&#8217;s selfless acts are offered as a spiritual offering to his personal God. It is the path that leads an individual to salvation by doing selfless acts. Salvation is the ultimate goal once an individual reaches the state of self-realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karma yoga is discussed in the <strong>Bhagavad Gita<\/strong>, the sacred text of Hindu. It teaches everyone to do work without focusing on the results. As when one is attached with the result of an action, the tendency is to become stressed, competitive and aggressive towards others. By understanding Karma yoga and its path, an individual who follows this principle will be able to work well without any stress which feels very satisfying and leads to life fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When an individual practices karma yoga, they are able to purify their heart and therefore learn to act selflessly when doing acts that serve others. In karma yoga, an individual learns how to become kind and have compassion in their heart without expecting any benefit or gift in return. An individual is able to learn about not focusing on the ego of self and it gives freedom and moves him toward the ultimate goal of self-realization and the path to enlightenment. By performing selfless service to others, it allows an individual to release their focus on their ego and act from relying on pure intentions. It also shows an individual that service is the heart and soul of karma yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_47_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">CONTENTS<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"ez-toc-toggle-icon-1\"><label for=\"item-662bf1af93109\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><span style=\"display: flex;align-items: center;width: 35px;height: 30px;justify-content: center;direction:ltr;\"><svg style=\"fill: #f99bac;color:#f99bac\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #f99bac;color:#f99bac\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/label><input  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-662bf1af93109\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-visibility-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Principles-of-Karma-Yoga\" title=\"Principles of Karma Yoga\">Principles of Karma Yoga<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Have-pure-thoughts\" title=\"Have pure thoughts\">Have pure thoughts<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Have-pure-motives\" title=\"Have pure motives\">Have pure motives<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Focused-on-one%E2%80%99s-Dharma-Duty\" title=\"Focused on one&#8217;s Dharma (Duty) \">Focused on one&#8217;s Dharma (Duty) <\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Give-your-best\" title=\"Give your best\">Give your best<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Relinquish-the-results\" title=\"Relinquish the results\">Relinquish the results<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Serve-others\" title=\"Serve others\">Serve others<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Embrace-discipline\" title=\"Embrace discipline\">Embrace discipline<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/bestinyoga.com\/what-is-karma-yoga\/#Benefits-of-Karma-Yoga\" title=\"Benefits of Karma Yoga\">Benefits of Karma Yoga<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Principles-of-Karma-Yoga\"><\/span><strong>Principles of Karma Yoga<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have-pure-thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Have pure thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When an individual has the right attitude towards everything, it makes a big difference.
