Karma Yoga is known as the 'Yoga of action' or 'duty'. It is the act of performing a selfless action, where the focus should be on the action and not on the outcome or results. Karma yoga is a path or step towards breaking the karmic cycle, and becoming free from ego, attachments and desires.
What does Karma yoga involve?
- Selflessness: Doing things without expecting rewards or recognition.
- Detachment: Letting go of attachment to the fruits of your actions.
- Service: Focusing on how your actions can benefit others or contribute to a greater cause.
