At any point in time…
even as the world of humans sleeps…
quietly…efficiently…selflessly
giving without expecting…
NATURE IS AT WORK!
This is Yagna…the spirit of sacrifice
KARMA YOGA IN ACTION
The action of each one…
enables the next one to perform.
In complete harmony with the cosmos…
this sets in motion the Wheel of Action.
This is CREATION…
THE WHEEL THAT STOPS NOT.
Food comes from rain.
The rain falls from the clouds that…
Give up the moisture they hold…
Which comes from the water…
That the lakes and seas give up…
When the sun gives up its heat…
And food gives itself up…
To nourish the human body.
When the moon rises in the sky
the ocean heaves up as if to meet it!
It creates tides that help human and sea life.
To greet the rising sun…
the birds chirp in unison…
lotuses bloom gracefully in invocation!
Such reverence…harmony…love!
What a mesmerising give and take!
What a melodious dialogue in Nature!
AS THE COSMOS CELEBRATES CREATION…..
Humans set discordant notes
Man alone is snoring in amidst the Divine!
Man takes benefit of the total activity
Not giving…not contributing.
Karma yoga is not any self-centered action.
It is action in consonance with the total good.
ADDING VALUE…DEPLETING NOTHING.
Be like the sun…the ocean waters…the wind
Fulfilled…at Peace with yourself and the world.
