practice Nishkama Karma Yoga for the eradication of the impurities in the mind. Nishkama
Karma Yoga gives you Chitta Suddhi and eventually culminates in the realization of the unity of
the Self.
Serve everyone with intense love, without the idea of agency, without expectation of
fruits, reward or appreciation. Feel that you are only a Nimitta or an instrument in the hands of
God. Worship God in the poor and the sick. Have no attachment to any place, person or thing.
Keep up mental poise amidst the changes of the world without consideration of success or
failure, gain or loss, pleasure and pain. Have the mind always rooted in the Self amidst activities.
Then you will become a true Karma Yogi. Work elevates, when done in the right spirit. Even if
people scoff at you, beat and kill you, be indifferent. Continue your Sadhana.
