The Nishkama Karma Method

The most direct method of achieving spiritual success is nishkama karma, action without any attention or attachment to the fruit there from—action as duty, action as dedication, action as worship. But, action and the fruit thereof are not two separate entities; the fruit is the action itself, in its final stage, the climax, and the conclusion. The flower is the fruit; the fruit is the flower; one is the beginning, the other is the legitimate end. The flower becomes the fruit. The action becomes the consequences. One’s duty is to act; act well, act in fear of God; act within the bounds of morality, act in love, continue acting, the consequences will naturally follow as the fruit follows the flower. One need not worry or exult. Act enthusiastically, with faith—success is yours.
