The Path of Action (Karma-Yoga)

Act fully, but let go of the fruits — and action stops binding you.

Karma-yoga is the path of action done in the right spirit: doing one's duty fully but surrendering all attachment to the rewards. The Bhagavad-gītā's central teaching to Arjuna is that one cannot escape action, but one can act without selfish craving for its fruits — and such action purifies the heart rather than binding it. It is the Gītā's answer to the choice between worldly life and renunciation.
