or failure. Simply obey the divine call and act like a soldier on the battlefield. There is great joy in such kind of work because there is no personal element here.
Keep the reason rooted in the Self Have a poised mind amidst the changes of the world. Work for the fulfilment of purposes divine. Do not expect any fruit Do everything as Ishwararpana. Work for the welfare of the world in unison with the Divine Will. Allow the divine energy to work unhampered through your instruments The moment your egoism comes in, there will be immediate blocking of the free flow of the divine energy. Make your Indriyas perfect instruments for His Lila Keep the body-flute hollow by emptying it of your egoism Then the FluteBearer of Brindavan will play freely through this body-flute He will work through your instruments. Then you will feel the lightness of the work. You will feel that God works through you. You will be washed of all the responsibilities You will be as free as a bird. You will feel that you are quite a changed being. Your egoism will try to re-enter Be careful. Be on the alert. By gradual practice and purification of the mind you will become an expert in Karma Yoga. All your actions will be perfect and selfless All actions will eventually culminate in Jnana. This is the Yoga of equanimity.
This kind of Yoga is inculcated by Lord Krishna in His teachings
