The Path of Karma Yoga

Karma yoga is known variously as meditation in action, spiritual action, non-doing, working with awareness and selfless service. It is nishkama karma (non-doing).

Karma yoga is more concerned with the means than the end. It encourages us to offer up the result or fruit of action in a spirit of sacrifice to God, the Supreme, or what represents the Highest for you. In so doing, the action becomes ritualised and spiritualised, because the true meaning of sacrifice is “to make sacred”. 

Set thy heart upon thy work, but never on its reward. Work not for a reward; but never cease to do thy work. (Bhagavad Gita)
