Karma Yoga is a disciplined way of doing work which is necessary for people belonging to all walks of life. Is selfless work at all possible in today's world? Is everyone from any walk of life eligible to do Karma Yoga? How can secular work be transformed into spiritual work? Is it possible to realize the highest Truth through Karma Yoga and if so, how? This book is a humble attempt at answering these questions.
Those who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
