13. Karma Yoga
 Karma yoga, or the "Yoga of action" is a form of yoga based on the
teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Sanskrit scripture of
Hinduism.
 Of the three paths to realization, karma yoga is the process of achieving
perfection in selfless action.
 Karma Yoga is primarily the practice of selfless service to humanity
whereby a spiritual seeker attempts to give their actions selflessly
without hoping for merit, fame or glory.
 This tendency for a human being to have attachment to 'reward' from
action is termed in the Bhagavada Gita: the 'fruits of action' - meaning
whatever one might gain from action, especially from the observation
and applause of others.
