When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place.

Do everything you have to do, but not with greed, not with ego, not with lust, not with envy but with love, compassion, humility and devotion.

The meaning of Karma is in the intention. The intention behind action is what matters. Those who are motivated only by desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do.

You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.

At the beginning of time I declared two paths for the pure heart: jnana yoga, the contemplative path of spiritual wisdom, and karma yoga, the active path of selfless service. There are the fundamental different types of yoga.

Actions do not cling to me because I am not attached to their results. Those who understand this and practice it live in freedom.

The wise see that there is action in the midst of inaction and inaction in the midst of action. Their consciousness is unified, and every act is done with complete awareness.

As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma.

When a person responds to the joys and sorrows of others as if they were his own, he has attained the highest state of spiritual union.

Approach those who have realized the purpose of life and question them with reverence and devotion; they will instruct you in this wisdom.
