Practice of Karma Yoga

The practice of Karma Yoga does not call for any wealth or money.



Anyone can serve with his /her whole mind and body. If you see a poor sick woman by the side of the road, you can always go out of your way to give her a little water or milk to drink. You can find ways and means of cheering her up with kind, hopeful words.



Place here in a cab or car and drive her to the closest clinic or nursing home. If you don’t have money to pay for the ab or car, you might just have to carry the woman on your back and see that she is admitted into a clinic or nursing home. Anyone who perform some service such as this, from time to time, has his / her heart purified.



The Supreme Soul is far more delighted with any such service rendered to the poor destitute people than by the service rendered by rich people with pride and a great deal of ceremony.

If you, by any chance see anyone suffering from severe pain in any part of his or her body, you can at once oil the affected parts soon. As you massage the person feel that you are oiling the body of the Lord himself. Keep chanting your personal mantra or any name of the Divine while oiling. Also pray from the deepest recesses of your heart: "O Lord! Take out the pain of this woman. Let her rest in peace. Let her enjoy good health." As you massage, feel the energy flow down from the cosmic source. This is called Hiranyagarbha, and energy is constantly flowing through it. Some novices are scared that their energies may get depleted by massaging another. This is a grave error on their part. The more a person gives, the more he or she gets in return. He / she get to be in tune with the cosmic energy. This is what we call the Infinite and this is the Divine law.
