Karma Yoga

What this episode covers

Circa 1978Karma yoga – service to God as an extension of meditation• We tend to compartmentalize our work and meditation, but the two are really complimentary. Work is extremely necessary to mediation until a person has reached the point where his meditations are so deep that the idea of work and meditation have blended and become one.• The closer we are to God, the more good we can accomplish in the world.• The real purpose of karma yoga is not so much what we do, but rather the way in which we do it – do outward tasks while in communion with God. Do your job well, and do it as an expression of Divine love.• Your words and actions should express what you have inside. Try to express God’s joy, love and peace.• When you are wholeheartedly expressing God’s joy in your relationship with others, you will also feel a deepening in your meditation, because you realize that everything and everyone is an expression of God’s consciousness.To support this work, go to: https://www.ananda.org/support/treasures/
