Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 When an action is performed with a motive it binds man by creating fresh Karma. But not when the same action is performed without attachment. This is the right way of engaging in action taught in the Gita. But, one will certainly ask whether it is possible to act like this. In worldly life as it is the norm to be result oriented in every endeavour the Gita teaching may appear an impractical ideal to pursue. But, it is not so. It is only when there is attachment to the result of one's action that there will be anxiety about it and therefore one will not be able to engage in it with total involvement. By dedicating all actions to God the mind becomes free to give full attention to whatever one is engaged in and also develop the right frame of mind to accept whatever be the outcome as God's grace.
