Karma Yoga

The Yoga of Action

Sanskrit Verse

Yas tv indriyani manasa niyamyarabhate 'rjuna, karmendriyaih karma-yogam asaktah sa vishishyate

Translation & Meaning

But one who controls the senses with the mind and engages in karma yoga through the organs of action, without attachment — that person is far superior. Genuine karma yoga unites mental control with engaged, detached action.

Key Teachings

  • Mental control combined with active engagement is superior
