When we respond to a stimulus in life, we respond it at two levels of Karma., Firstly, the outer-KARMA which is done at the level of body & mind. Secondly, inner-Karma or shuttle-Karma done by our intention and inner-life-energy at that moment (referred as inner karma), which get recorded in our inner-being (beyond body and mind). Many times the outer-Karma might look noble, where as associated inner Karma might be different. As per quantum and meta physics, the second one (inner-Karma) gets replayed as an event in future (which is a 3D replay) to close the open-loop of Karma (between inner & outer Karma) in compliance with law of conservation of energy. Which is expressed by Vedanta as laws of Karma by saying:
YAT PINDE, TAD BRAHMANDE (as the inner so the outer).
Most of us are only concerned and bothered about outer-Karma, as it is connected to tangible result/outcome for our life-style. However, we are unaware, ignorant about to intangible inner-Karma. In other words, we are illusioned, least bothered and insensitive towards it. This is the prime reason; we are not able to comprehend why someone take birth with silver spoon and other in beggar’s house. Similarly, this is why outer-KARMA doesn't always yield proportional result for one, but gives out of proportion result for other. Now let’s analyze Karma-Yoga as per Krishna in Bhagvat Gita (verse# 2.47) ; which he taught to Arjuna in battle field of Mahabharat :
Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karmaphalaheturbhurma Te Sangostvakarmani
Which means…..
You have the right to work only but never to its fruits. Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.
If we simplify and decode this paradox for common world, this verse has two recommendations in form of two sets of binary Q&A.
Giving-up is an option? NO , Failure is an option? YES
Those who fully in compliant with above equations are Karma-Yogi. Now let’s observe the paradox through the interplay of both set of question/answers in three categories of people.

Category-1: This category of people are lethargic, passive and inactive. Hence answer to first question is YES and hence the second question is irrelevant for them. These category of people are losers in life and called as Karma-Tyagi.
Category-2: These are the people with desire and greed, as they have a misbelief or ignorance that they are in full control of manifestation input and process. Hence, for them answer to both questions are “NO”. In other words, they comply to first set of Q&A but reject the second set of Q&A (i.e., partially in compliance with Karma-Yoga). Hence, they don’t qualify to become a Karma-Yogi. Hence, they start their task with a lacking (of result) in mind and develop a strong sense of attachment and enjoyment right with result (i.e., Karma-Bhogi). This which lead to a rigid expectation and gap called “psychological craving”. As per quantum physics this “psychological craving” is an unsettled electro-magnetic impulse. Hence, they put effort without being effortlessness and feel anxious / tired throughout the manifestation process. As per Vedanta it’s the inner-KARMA that gets recoded in to our inner-being (beyond body and mind). Hence, every time they fail, they record inner-KARMA in their ignorance; which gets replayed as experience of disappointments and disheartened with a deprivation of peace and inner-wellbeing to close the Karmic-Loop. This happened as they could not participate at quantum level to prevent recording of inner-KARMA. They live unconsciously as a puppet of their biological electro-magnetic impulses (inner-KARMA). Unfortunately, the majority of the people in this world fall in this category.?
Category-3: These people have a constant awareness that neither they have full control on input nor full control on process of manifestation. i.e., there is something beyond their control. Hence, for them answer to first question “NO” and second question is “YES”. In other words, they are in full compliance with Karma-Yoga and become Karma-Yogi. Hence, they consciously prevent recoding of inner-KARMA.
Now the big question is, if failure is an option for Karma-Yogi, what is their motivation for their action? The answer is that, unlike Karma-Bhogi they are driven by quest and curiosity on art of possibility of their action. With quest & curiosity in mind they develop a strong sense of appreciation/gratitude to the natural process of manifestation. Also, they feel fortunate for being chosen to witness the art of possibility in that moment
In simple a Karma-Yogi enjoy putting 100% of effort being effortlessness and enjoy the manifestation process without having right on result. They lead their life with clarity, confidence, character, charisma, and playfulness. I call this state as Sage-ness. This Sageness has a hidden power to transmute vulnerability to vision, uncertainty to creativity, arrogance to audacity, ambiguity to adaptability, result to process orientation, conformity and creativity and finally bias to integrity. In other words, Sageness propels Smartness.
It's our choice to become Karma-Tyagi o Karma-Bhogi or Karma-
To become a Karma-Yogi and lead a life of playfulness, you may read the book Smart-Sage. #smartsage

1 年Well summarized Prashant! ?? Only if the choice of being a "karma - tyagi / bhogi / yogi" was as easy as you represented it :) In our materialistic world (recently powered by AI ;) ), "karma" itself is open / up for multiple representations and so good luck to all for hopefully choosing their most preferred option & most importantly living contently with it! ;)

1 年Manifestation and inner karma are related to each other. I also see inner karma as our subconscious mind
