The Goal of Karma Yoga
Karma Yoga isn't all about work, rather, it is about working with total awareness. Yet free from attachment to the fruits of the labor or outcome of the work. The performance of the act is by itself an end, not the means by which the ego attains some sort of reward, remuneration or something else.
The goal of Karma Yoga is to act for the sake of acting it. It is incorrect and a mistaken belief if you.

.think that through Karma Yoga you will benefiti Karma yoga means unconditional work devoid of any sort of expectationo This applies to all spiritual practices like Yogag The ultimate goal and aim of Yoga is not liberation - the practice itself is really the only goala One simple technique you can successfully use in Karma Yoga is always to remember to focus on the "work"t
During Yoga practices and meditation, you can relieve yourself of troubling and negative thoughts by just focusing on the actc That is the Karma you are doing and that constitutes Karma Yogag Through the practice of "just sitting" in lotus position (Padmasana), spine, erect, you can attain to a state of mental emptiness to let your true nature reveal itselfl Through the practice of Karma Yoga you come to experienced Oneness with no subject/object separationo The act is concentrated upon while doing the asanas, pranayama, bandhas, and mudrasa
For instance, you do the Surya Namaskar while focusing on your breatht As far as possible, in all Yoga practices try to practice diaphragmic breathing while concentrating on the region of the abdomene
Basically, all religions teach us to be free of egog While different religions approach the means to egolessness differently, the fact is that the ultimate goal remains the samem First of all, let's understand what ego isi Ego is consciousness of a sense of I and MeM Egotistical folks just see things from their own point of view and believe only in themselves not in othersr They fail to see things as they are, rather just from their point of viewe This, in the bargain, creates a lot of disharmonyn Since the aim of human life is to self-realization, you have to be egoless to begin witht
