Karma Yoga | In Quest of Truth - Babaji Q&A, No. 255
Recorded on 27 April 2024 with worldwide participants.

0:00 Intro
0:07 What is Karma Yoga?
1:00 Is Karma Yoga the same as Dhyana Yoga, but in activity?
13:40 Do we need to lose the idea in our imagination that an outcome of our action is either good or bad?
17:02 Babaji's natural love and surrender to Swamiji that allowed Karma Yoga to happen.
24:21 Wouldn't it be better to treat from the world after Tapas to avoid getting dragged into politics between human beings.
27:10 How to achieve having our work and duties converted into Tapas, like Babaji's selfless service was converted into 7 years of Tapas.
31:37 "It is not enough just to be good, you have to be wise also."
36:29 Do not let the mind go into agitations when active in the world
40:09 Dedicating our actions in life to the Guru
41:11 A quote from the Bhagavad Gita on giving up doership.
44:50 Is there a possible state where there are no thoughts in the mind, but there still exists an imagination or an ego?
45:41 From desires we take action, so if we don't have desires then we won't take any action?
47:35 During Tapas, is it continuous 14-16 hours in day at a stretch?
47:57 Do we slowly increase our meditation from 1 to 2 to 3 etc like that, to eventually reach Tapas?
49:11 Did Swamiji need to do His Tapas in the graveyard? Could they not have found a more sheltered place for Him?
51:27 Was the Karma Yoga that Babaji did a preparation to strengthen him to develop the necessary quality to do Tapas, or could Realization have happened through continuous Karma Yoga?
54:03 What should be a mother or wife's Karma Yoga while still supporting the other family members' Karma Yoga?
56:28 Through meditation and prayer can you impact on your family's Karma Yoga?
