3.

Gita teaches Karma-Yoga.
We should work through Yoga (concentration).

In such concentration in action (Karma-Yoga), there is no consciousness of the lower ego  present.
The consciousness that I am doing this and that is never present when one works through Yoga.

The Western people do not understand this.
They say that if there be no consciousness of ego, if this ego is gone, how then can a man work?

But when one works with concentration, losing all consciousness of oneself the work that is done will be infinitely better, and this every one may have experienced in his own life.
We perform many works subconsciously, such as the digestion of food etc., many others consciously, and others again by becoming immersed in Samâdhi as it were, when there is no consciousness of the smaller ego.

If the painter, losing the consciousness of his ego, becomes completely immersed in his painting, he will be able to produce masterpieces.
The good cook concentrates his whole self on the food-material he handles; he loses all other consciousness for the time being.

But they are only able to do perfectly a single work in this way, to which they are habituated.
The Gita teaches that all works should be done thus.
 He who is one with the Lord through Yoga performs all his works by becoming immersed in concentration, and does not seek any personal benefit.

Such a performance of work brings only good to the world, no evil can come out of it.
Those who work thus never do anything for themselves.

Thank you for reading

The Essence of Dharma-23.

23/02/2018 Spoken on February 11th, 1973) This is the concept of dharma, of the duty of man in the universe, the nature of which is thus explained. Dharma has sometimes been regarded as one of the four purusharthas: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. This is the sum and substance of Hinduism. The essence of the religion of India is summed up in a phrase: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. If you are asked by anyone what is Hinduism, simply say, “Dharma, artha, kama, moksha.” This is Hinduism: a blend of these four concepts of duty. Hinduism is always a blend. It is never a one-sided affair. It has no name. ‘Hinduism’ is not the name of this religion. It is the name that is foisted upon it by Westerners, not knowing what it is. We have no name for our religion. It is not founded by any person. It is universal, capable of absorbing everything into itself like a menstruum. It is sanatana dharma, eternal dharma. It is eternal religion forever applicable to all persons of all creeds and sexes.
