(29) How to transform our karma into Karmayoga?

            To think about all our relatives -parents, brothers, sisters, wives, sons , things, property as our own and getting attached to them is illusion. We are attached to the things only which we think as our own. We feel happiness on getting those power, position, prosperity or meeting our beloveds, relatives, friends and parents. Partings with people or prosperity give us unhappiness. If someone tries to keep them away from us or snatch them, we become furious and angry, jealous and envy, and our mind and intellect cannot decide how to overcome those problems.

            A soul is eternal and body is temporary but we are attached to mortal body and relations. We expand our relations as we grow up and attached to many people .How can we come out from these illusions. There are only two ways to come out from the illusion and they are politeness and service to the mankind. When consciousness is strong it would make us detached from untruth. And if we start servicing people we abandon our happiness and comforts for the sake of servicing other people. To give and share happiness to others without expressing anything make us free from the desire to enjoy comfort and luxuries for our-self. Just as Guru for pupil, parents for their kids and a honest servant tries to please his boss karmayogi can abandon every desire to be happy. It is not an easy task .A Saint can leave everything when he lives in jungle and do tap. But for a person living among all the luxuries of life it is difficult to share all the luxuries and comforts for other people and abandon every wish to make his own-self happy and comfortable .hence karmayoga is considered as the best, easiest and the quickest in giving accomplishment.

            A person has heard about heaven in his life earth. But we can achieve that only when his intellect would be free from the all the illusion and delusion. He would have peace only when his consciousnesses make it clear that his soul and his body are different. If a soul leaves a body, a soul remains the same. We are fascinated and attracted to all the luxuries because we have heard   about it. Hence listening plays important role listening about worldly riches or listening about God is a choice made by person. The moment our mind and intellect cross over the bog of worldly pleasure and be deaf to the listening to the call of luxuries we can get attainment. There are various ways shown by different shastra to come out from the illusion and delusion of the worldly pleasures.

             Here Lord Krishna told Arjun that a moment when your disturbed intellect because of’ heard luxuries’ freed you, you will be free from illusion and worldly delusions.

            Let’s wait for that precious moment in our life and proceed on our karma-road….
