Who
is a Karma Yogi Myths of Karma Yoga
(JRD TATA - karma yogi par
excellence) Do
we ever realize most Westerners are Karma Yogi’s par excellence. Most may not
be aware of the subject meaning of the word (or the word "Karma Yogi" itself)
... Yet they practice and follow Karma
Yoga since times immemorial, not willingly but inherently.
They were not even aware
of the purport of it! To be or not to be is not the question but inherently following
a form of Yoga
best suited to needs of today, what more could a person of the present Materialistic
World ask for!!
Karma
Yoga stands for doing your duties towards your own self, family, society
and masses without a feeling of doubt, obligation or lust but as a duty one has
to perform in the service of God.
Karma denotes one’s capability to think (invoke positive or negative thoughts)
followed by action (thoughts in crystallized form). None can perform even a single
act without a thought preceding it! Can you?
The correct approach towards the path of Karma Yoga is living in the present (now
or never). The fleeting seconds passing by are the true actual moments within
your grasp. You have absolutely zero control over the past events. You can exercise
100% control over the future by controlling
your present!!.
Yoga denotes trying to communicate with the almighty through various means.
Means or paths are only three ... Jnana
Yoga, Bhakti Yoga or Karma Yoga. When you try to follow the Karma path
... you are called a Karma Yogi for, in fulfilling the requirements of self, family
and society you are doing an act of his (God). Satisfaction obtained by such deeds
is thus, a prayer completed!! Those
who make prayers as their only solace of Life like Priests, Swamis, Sadhus and
Munis etc. ... are called Bhakti Yogis. Those who embrace Jnana
as their chief aim of Life ... through introspection and Self
Realization reach their destined goal of Life are followers of the
Jnana Yoga path.
The path of Karma Yoga is simpler and easy to follow for you neither have to leave
your family and more so enjoy all comforts of Life but via this path you can never
reach the goal in one
Life span (Who knows what we shall be in our next Life! It is always
desirable to divert ourselves from the path of Karma Yoga to Bhakti Yoga or Jnana
Yoga in the present life).
Karma
Yogi: Definition quote meaning Karma
Sutra is best followed purusing the path of Nishkama karma yoga!
At
every stage of Life you also invariably follow the path of Bhakti Yoga while making
your prayers (though inherently). Bhakti Yoga alone is capable of taking you towards
God but in Jnana Yoga you have the added advantage of solving all your queries
before you realize God. A Jnana Yogi is competent enough to guide the whole Humanity
towards the Ultimate goal of Life ... The culmination of all your prayers ...
God
Realization!!!
