Abstract
1.Suprabhatam, Sushwagatam (Good morning and welcome)……….
2.The word Karma Yoga itself has a contradiction. ‘Karma’ is action. Yoga is silence.
3.Liberation is infinite where as action is finite.
4.Finite action can not take us to liberation.
5.Ego has manifestation in cause and effect.
6.Cause ego means ‘I’ is attached in every action. ‘I am doing’ feeling is cause ego.
7.Cause ego is sublimated by knowing that ‘god or goddess is doing it’.
Even without me the work can be done.
8.Effect ego is ‘every action is for my self’. Change in attitude can liberate us.
9.Every action is a small contribution to universal well being rather than for me.
10.I am doing it for the sake of god or goddess like Sita Ram.
That is Karma Yoga which leads us to liberation. Let us meditate.
