Understanding Desire in Karma Yoga
This talk seems to have been given to a corporate audience around the nature of desire and success and failure within Karma Yoga. It is a short text but again I find Swami’s interpretation insightful.
In the Bhagavad Gita is says you don’t have fruits to action but you have a claim to action. But the complexity is the desire. As every action has a desire as part of it. Swami holds that desire within the bounds of values is fine. The fruits we can handle when we have less desires as we attribute fruits as success and failure. If we have fewer desires then failures seem less bad and success we can treat as Prasada.
