Here are the two ways of giving up all attachment in Karma-Yoga. One way is for those who do not believe in God, or in any outside help. They are left to their own devices; they have simply to work with their own will, with the power of their mind, saying "I must be nonattached," and work too with their own power of Viveka or discrimination. For those who believe in God there is the other way, which is much less difficult to go through. They give up the fruits of work unto the Lord, they work and are never attached to the results. Whatever they see, feel, hear, or do, for Him. Whatever good work we may do, let us not claim any praise to ourselves The work is the Lord's; we have to give up the fruits unto Him. The grandest work that we may do in our lives never let us think that we are to receive the benefits thereof, or that we have done any good work at all. All work is His. Let us stand aside and think that we are only servants obeying the Lord, our master, and that every im. pulse for action comes from him every moment,
