“In the Bgagavad Gita why should God ask us not to expect the results? Is He aware that the systems in nature, that is, the order of the world created by Him, do not have a fool proof provision for it? Then is it not a rational world ensuring justice to all the actions delivered by man? One wonders why God, the supreme creator of this universe, does not have a system in place for ensuring a matching reward for all our actions.” WorkKarma YogaGitaResults QuoteBhagavad Gita Book:The Puzzles of Life Source: The Puzzles of Life
“Even though there is no certainty that the expected results of our work will manifest, we have to remain committed to our work and duties; because, even if the results are slated to arrive, they cannot do so without the performance of work. This should be the spirit of a follower of the way of action, that is, Karma Yoga.” WorkKarmaWork QuotesKarma YogaKarma Quotes Book:The Puzzles of Life Source: The Puzzles of Life
“One important aspect of the Gita which remains is that even though it presents to us some diverse paths as a way of life, such as action, devotion, knowledge and meditation, it does not impose any of these paths on an individual. Rather, it leaves the choice to the people, because the followers of all these paths are essential for the smooth functioning of the world, and any en masse inclination towards only one of them would jeopardize the society by causing an imbalance in its system. The Gita also recognizes that the path that one should follow is determined primarily by the free choice of man as well as his inherent nature, which can be interpreted as a genetic inheritance he is endowed with.” Karma YogaGitaBhakti YogaYoga PhilosophyYoga QuotesBhagavad GitaJnana Yoga Book:The Puzzles of Life Source: The Puzzles of Life
