The Art of Acting
Profit is not a destination but a Result, which is available or not and in any case is irrelevant. This is very difficult to understand for a person affected by a society in which profit and success in the outside, the criterion is not whether this life was worth, or.
eat not enough feces after to leave and you can not manure to produce fertilizer.
This is karma-yoga, action where the outcome, the outcome of an effort to be engaged not even big in the field of consciousness.
Even if the result of my efforts do not occur, was then still the work is not in vain, since one of the imperishable available and put it in everything not perishable fruit goes, but only as to the awareness of soul.
The activity becomes a game in the world of forms, where you will not if you are earning as much money, not less, if you were to lose everything overnight. For help property (converted money) and the future in any way his identity. If one gives up his claims that the world must form a happy and fulfilled, then one knows immediately the pleasure that runs through everything in life and is not dependent on circumstances and conditions in the outside world.
then satisfaction is not a short-term congruence of circumstances with my ideas, but a state that has stock in all situations.
Man is free from dependence on the forms of life, in the circumstances. It is no longer the burden of his struggle with the circumstances to carry with you.
non-action
The work itself can become prayer, if it is carried out in the presence of God.
The work is its own answer to the presence of God. And he does, arranged controls, everything. In the exclusion of God as the main actor, it is understandable that people want to squeeze success out of his identity and action. It is impossible to be free from the fruits of action, if one looks to be its originator.
"The confused thinking soul, they would do things that run in fact by nature." (BG 3.27)
Who causes the summer passes and autumn comes? I was this? No one probably thinks that he produces the seasons. The Bhagavad Gita says now that the movement of the body, the activity of nature (under God's guidance) and not myself. The fundamental forces of nature (gunas) move everything in the world. "I wake to sleep, I lie down, I move through life, build a house ..." Because of the identification with the body thinks the soul to be as involved. The Bhagavad Gita speaks of
5 factors of the action (18.14):
-
the body - the senses (even work when the senses, one can be distracted and think in the middle of a talk only of his problems at work, the senses are connected with the attention that they register.)
- the effort (there are fatalists who think it was predestined everything, everything is karma, but otherwise would be Krishna, the soul's not encourage them to act in each moment (3.5)
- the self (The spiritual teaching is complex and not single track. Again and again we hear the statement, see themselves not as the actors, but here the self is as karta, described as the actor. Of course, the soul has free will, desire power, but not the independence to make things according to their wishes. This has only God holds. Confusion would be to regard themselves as the sole actor. One is a contributor. The biggest mistake is to believe, you do everything yourself. In truth, we are like small cells in the hands of the cosmic body.
-daiva (God himself, as observers and permit donor is present in everything. He is the mover of all things (9.10) and directs all the body according to the radius of their wishes. ^
All meditative practices are aimed precisely then, to recognize that is not the mover of the body (Buddhist walking meditation) and not the makers of his thoughts and Moods.
If, in the whole divine arranging is only a small Contribute in it as I want there to raise claims the results?
In admitting to the work in the attitude of karma-yoga is not being split into the duality of action and contemplation, in introversion and extroversion, but it is obedience, she is listening to him and permeability created for him - and that is the key to success, the all Klauber and petty stretching can fade after adding fruits ..
His presence permeates my work. Working in the face of God requires that we work with inner calm and unhurried, out of your own center, completely collected.
who work hastily and want to do everything at once, the escape His presence. He gets perhaps a result in three-dimensional space, but that's at stake is not so. Because the loss of sense of connection with God you can experience even in the greatest possible profit on the physical level as a shadow with, but emptiness.
puts us his all-satisfying presence of even the drama on a human level to the insignificance of what does not lead to indifference toward and devaluation of the physical realm.
"Do your best just to practice, but never to the fruit of the action (the result). Do not dwell on the cause of the Results of your actions.
The result should not be the motive of action, still tend to be passive. "
(Bg 2.47)
" consecration all your actions to me, your mind focused on the Oversoul (which is the real performance of the activity), free from desire for profit (without expectation) and possessiveness ("My feeling") and try you, free of fever (mental stress and tension). "(Bg 3.30)
looseness
does not mean that one should not be active, New learning, exploring new countries, meet new people learn skills and acquire knowledge, physical and mental abilities develops and creates what is called one on this earth.
But in all of it tried the Karma-yogi does not add anything to him. He is not stuck with what he does. He does his work not to become his identity. It projected no hope of fulfilling the outside. Because the original desire of God can not be replaced by converted Ambition in the outside, this disappointing efforts only end in a tense search for more. You think the void resulting from too little. But you can never make up for that with quantity well what you missed at orientation.
There is nothing wrong, and actively engaged in the world are - this is even necessary (Nahi kascit ksanam api - Bhagavad Gita 3.5). The problem is only hope to cling to the activity, which can never be fulfilled by the activity and the result of it. This leads to a disturbance in which we think we still need to do something new in order to plug the hole to have something to add.
A search for recognition specificity which is woven into the work, is what makes the work difficult.
The small bubble of his personal life story will soon pass away, but most people live chained in this self-consciousness of an imagined reality. This means constant need - the fragile sense of self will be strengthened by experienced things in the outside and secured unit. Be it property, reputation to be right, or as a spiritually enlightened being considered. ... All this is confirmation of the identification of role that one is not. A pointless exercise to strengthen the fiction of the ego.
"I am an eternal soul, belonging and expects Krishna" - the game of becoming more by arranging the outer, or identification with the work must be completed, but without the do I stop being active - this is karma-yoga. It is being active, in which it is not practical to Catch up, but only to the space inside where you are as a soul with Krishna lifted effective.
Like everything else in the world - as we interpret our doing one is concerned not just with work but it also comments on what you are doing. And that comment affects all our groundbreaking relationship to work, our mood.
Because you would constantly reinforce his identity through his work and running after the self-affirmation, she calls for.
If they are simply doing as his job as working for the service, and not the recognition's sake, all the grimness and awkwardness of veflöge. In this inner easiness one is even more effective in his work, in which otherwise most of the energy with the flirting on the results and their evaluation consumed.
Often you have intentions in the work that can not be satisfied by the work: They want recognition from others, you would like to be praised and respected and want to prove something that even a little can. These ulterior motives devour most of the energy and the result is always bitter disappointment.
is neglected self-realization that one seeks to substitute the now transient.
For those whose joy is only in the self and the self-satisfied to be alone, and only satisfied in the Self, for him there is nothing more to do follow (it has no more tasks)
A self-realized human being in His action is no intention (he has nothing to gain by action) and also there is no reason for him to perform not the action (it has nothing to lose). He needs no refuge in any other sector.
(Bhagavad Gita 3.17-18)
And so will the concept of work a part of the survival struggle: the struggle for existence, existential fear ... It is not the job of work to be placed in the service of selfish survival and defensive struggle. Most people do work, as well as the slow going, as a drug to dull themselves, to escape from themselves.
For the awakening spiritualists, it is important Consistently to work again at the service of his deep desire for freedom. The only way to work, as is done by humans, are again fulfilling and meaningful.
Karma-yoga is work from the Self. It's not about to accomplish things - that God is responsible and it does its job - but only in a space of encounter to create.
The art of not doing
Most people understand non-doing "hanging around" as "live for the day when unearned leisure. This has nothing to do with the not-doing. It is a matter of giving up inner mental activity. On the outer level means "non-doing" to do what to do.
non-action does not mean doing nothing. This misconception fails to what should be done, and is in internal pressure. Nothing to do everything to prevent anything, to do nothing - this is the downward own ambition. And it very much vitality, creativity and action is born, but will not be invested in a dogged determination in action. Reviewed
is all action in the market by thinking dominated the world with the criterion of success. The shows are not relegated to, integrated, and the ego is the balance of power.
I to be loose, single, free, also means, send away the agents of the power within us that we will convince them of the hopelessness of the enterprise, the supremacy of the incumbents. Ledig are also means to correct the relationship between success and truth.
Karma yoga means that the sensitivity for the truth rather than revive unconscious to be guided by the winners and the winning addiction. Karma yoga is the certainty of the essence in a year-long lack of success in the world. Man
the truth must never sacrifice the success of thinking. Promise of success is not the essential category, whether something should be done or not.
to be free from the pressures of success-have-have to do is a mystical core that appears in spite of the still going further.
Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and a leading opponent of the Vietnam War, noted in 1966 in a letter to the mystical basis of inner freedom:
"Do you not even depend on the hope of success. You have to expect that all your efforts will remain fruitless if possible or the opposite effect. Reckon with this possibility. If you get used to it, you'll focus more and more gradually up to the value on the Richtigsein on the truth of your respective work, regardless of their results. "
Merton advises the pacifists to become free from the need to own to find confirmation in the actions. Then you can open be for God's power that wants to work through you, whether you realize it yourself.
Eckhart says this: I work so that I work. " This action is not fed from a proven track record, but of God himself.
"if your campaign leads to a thousand victories, the heart continues to beat the world untouched." Hermann Hesse
Karma Yoga Karma Yoga teaches
unselfish action without regard to the merit of the act. One should not be obsessed with the result, but without specific intent to act just fine.
always returns you in the question, "Why do I act?" "What's my motivation?" It is always the intention in action, what are the reactions and not the act itself. Most people associate action a desire to achieve something, to earn money to implement ambitions. These are the very attitudes which drive not Karmayogi. He knows everything in God's guidance and the action is for him only the self-yourself-to make them available.
nirmatta matram bhava savya sacchin (BG 11.33) "Will simply a tool of my self," invites Krishna Arjuna. That is a peace and fulfillment that goes much deeper than that enjoy what you have done or acquired.
Sri Krishna declares that in the equanimity in success and failure, in the pleasant and the undesirables in the decoupling of the assessment in the transitory world, the gateway to immortality exists (BG 2.15). It strives not to fulfill their own ideas about how to be the world had, but works solely from a self-giving to the world and to maintain inside the room in which it recognizes itself as immortal soul.
If nothing to gain and nothing to lose, why should we seek still, so why do anything? Just
personal ambitions in freedom is born a pleasure to work for harmony in all (sarva bhuta hite ratah - BG 5.25), to do something with all my heart and full commitment.
is not to depend on the success or the outcome, that is half-hearted. should. But you should what you do, do as good as you can. If you act, you think that everything depends on this effort, but inside we know at the same time in every moment that everything is preserved in higher hands. To plan wisely, think smart and below approach with full commitment and heart to the implementation. Krishna says: "Yoga Karmasu Kaushalam" - "Yoga is skill in action" (Bg 2.50). Who
not constantly thinking of the result goes to work at all, may experience what is called "Flow", an inline, a future cooperation. This is a participation in God.
The word "victim" is derived from the Latin "operari" also by action and work. Every activity should be offering, an offering to Sri Krishna. Separation from reality is meaningless.
