...Karma Yoga can not be preached, but it can be understood and practiced...
"मेरे कर्म के अतिरिक्त इस संसार में मेरा अस्तित्व कुछ भी नहीं"
"मेरा कर्म वह नहीं है जो मैं स्वयं के लिए करता हूँ, मेरा कर्म वह है जो मैं दूसरों लिए करता हूँ।"
"I have no existence in this world except for my karma"
" My karma is not what I do for myself, my karma is what I do for others."
--------------------
मात्र निस्वार्थ भाव से की गई सेवा ही कर्मयोग के अंतर्गत आती है।
जिस सेवा कार्य के पीछे ख्याति, प्रशंसा सम्मान, धन, शक्ति, स्वामित्व अथवा पुण्य पाने अथवा उसे स्वीकार करने की इच्छा हो, वह कार्य कर्मयोग के अंतर्गत नहीं आता।
इन सब का बोझ एक कर्मयोगी को उठाना पड़ सकता है किंतु इन से लगाव रखना अथवा इन से प्रेरित होना उसका उद्देश्य अथ्वा चरित्र नहीं हो सकता।
Only a completely selfless act of giving can qualify as an act of Karma yoga.
Any act that is driven by the desire or the expectation to acquire or accept name, fame, praise, financial and positional authority or divine blessings, does not come under the ambit of Karma yoga.

"बोध अथवा ज्ञान वह ध्वनि है जिसे मात्र मौन अवस्था का अनुशासित आचरण ही उत्पन्न कर सकता है"
"Knowledge is the sound that only a disciplined practice of silence can make"
कर्मयोगी - Karma Yogi
"If I speak or write whatever everybody else is speaking and writing, then as an author, thinker and orator, I am not doing justice to my job."
"यदि मैं भी वही सब कहूँ और लिखूँ जो सब कह रहे हैं और लिख रहे हैं तो कदाचित एक लेखक, विचारक एवं वक्ता के रूप में मैं अपना उत्तरदायित्व उचित एवं अपेक्षित रूप से नहीं निभा रहा हूँ"

Yes, I have a name and a face but I do not feel very proud of either of them, basically because I have no contribution in obtainining either of them.
Yes, I feel gratitude towards the two and towards my parents, who provided me with this identity that fetches me love, affection and respect from fellow beings.
But if my name and face can help feed a hungry child, I will not hesitate to use it with conviction as many times as is necessary and with total disregard for any embarassment, humiliation or disrespect that might come my way for doing the same.
