The karma yoga for the Karma yogi is a more thrilling way to solve a problem, accomplish a task, rid his own self and others of physical or psychic distress, than to entertain himself - if you throw yourself into a task then there is not much time left over. What looks from the outside like a struggling person involved only with work, is in reality someone very inspired and attentive, absolutely clear-headed about what he is doing.

I look on the whole of life as a creative process. It is played out before my eyes and I am a part of it - I am the spectator and the participant.
To grow through action - that is the meaning of life, that is the means whereby Karma yoga achieves liberation.

I like what I do … . The more I give myself to my work, the less I think about my own comfort or discomfort, the more I feel myself part of a greater whole; something that concerns not only me but all of us - and everything together.

The Karma yogi’s aid in this inner mindfulness is meditation with open eyes in the midst of actions. Every day I train myself to fall back into myself and not let myself be carried away by how tasks ’should’ be done. Instead I solve them from within myself, in the moment, in the present. Emotions, thoughts, dreams, cravings, anger - and the cares that follow - are seen through and thus exhausted. In the now, in the unbroken sequence of nows I find life and opportunities to enjoy, feel happiness, feel pain and anger -everything that is me, everything that I do. Going on. . . .

Be attentive - experience
one: outer influences (people, sounds, music, writings, images, talk, traffic, etc.)
two: spontaneous inner thoughts three: yourself- with all this, in this and without it.

Your life - what you are doing now, your work when you’re working - is the object of your meditation.
Live it fully, the way you want to and pay attention to one, two, three.

Karma Yoga is the ability to start all over again - any time - don’t let yourself get knocked out or carried away by how the results are turning out.
And anyway there is nothing called Yoga
- it’s called life.
