Nishkama karma refers to work done without expectation of results or reward. One interpretation is that the soul or purpose of any action should be to remember God, while subjective perceptions of results are maya or illusion. Remembering God through namasmaran or remembrance is the most important aspect of any work, while focusing on results makes one lose sight of the true purpose, which is keeping God in mind. This interpretation can be validated through one's own experiences.

2. One of the interpretations of this
Sanskrut word is work without
result or work without expectation.
My other interpretations are
described in my books.
The interpretation I conceived
yesterday is that the “soul” or the
very purpose of the work is
ISHWAR (God) and the result is
MAYA (subjective perceptions)!

3. Hence it is taught by most saints to
remember God during every action
or rather remembering God
(NAMASMARAN) is the most
important action and the other
actions are secondary and tertiary!
Thinking about result is forgetting
God and losing the very purpose or
the very core of the work!
One can tally this interpretation
with one’s own experience.
