NISHKAM KARMYOG (निष्काम कर्मयोग): DO EVERYTHING FOR LORD’S SAKE #Blog0049


Nishkam Karmyog (निष्काम कर्मयोग): Do everything for Lord’s sake

Do everything for His sake, dedicating to Him – not with selfish interest.        

Like, even if you are eating, you dedicate this to Him so that you can live to do His bidding.        

You are reading, you dedicate this to Him so that you can spread the learning to others – not merely for purpose of helping but turning them to Krishna consciousness – etc. etc.        

Philanthropy, per se, is a mere pious act which can give you सुख proportionately but you have to take birth again in this material world, i.e., you cannot get liberated (,i.e., skip the worldly birth death cycle, old age & disease).  

मुक्ति (Liberation) ,i.e., stopping the birth, death cycle among 84 lakh species of life is possible only after getting Krishna consciousness.  

If someone does not want मुक्ति, he is free to do anything he likes, without following bhakti marg, BUT then he should be ready to transit through any of the 84 lakh species for an unlimited period of time.

But this (Nishkam Karmyog) is easy only after you have yourself surrendered to Lord ,i.e., you are already on bhakti marg.

If you have not surrendered to Him (which is the ultimate aim as advised by Lord Himself) , i.e., for neophytes – to trigger them on to bhakti marg, this is the first step advised (Nishkam Karmyog) and this is titled निष्काम कर्म योग (निष्काम= you are entitled only to do your duty (काम), awarding the result should be left in His hands (,i.e., you should not expect the result proportional to your effort (निष) – rather HAVE TOTAL FAITH ON LORD TO GIVE RESULT,      कर्म =action,      योग= union with Lord).

After following this Nishkam Karmyog for a period of time, one automatically comes on to bhakti platform through His grace as जीव pleases Lord merely by making an effort in His direction (योग)


फिर उसके बाद “हौं चले हूं पग बीस”, उसके बाद प्रभु कहते हैं सब कार्य मैं करता हूं, आप एक पद बड़ा तो दीजिए

   IMAGINE THE GRACE OFFERED BY LORD THAT WITH YOUR LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT & SOME DEVOTION TO LORD ONCE YOUR MIND STARTS ENJOYING THE COMPANY OF LORD , BE IT HIS NAME, BE IT HIS FACE, BE IT HIS ACTIONS OR BE IT HIS ABODE, THEN :

LORD SAYS “I (हौं) WALK THE NEXT 20 (बीस) STEPS (पग)” (ONCE YOU TAKE A STEP TOWARDS HIM) & LORD DOES NOT EVEN NEED TO WALK – BY HIS MERE WILL (संकल्प), HE CAN TAKE ONE TO HIS OWN ABODE WHERE THERE IS ETERNAL BLISS.
