Beyond Karma: The ONLY Mindset for Spiritual Liberation Through Work | Swami Mukundananda

The Karma Yogis, with purified intellect, have cultivated the mindset of feeling the presence of God in all living beings and behave respectfully toward everyone without attachment. Since their actions are not motivated by the desire for self-enjoyment, their knowledge is progressively clarified. As their desires are eliminated, the senses, mind, and intellect that were being propelled for sense pleasures come under control. These instruments are now available for the service of the Lord. Devotional service leads to realized knowledge from within. In this way, Karma Yog naturally brings about these successive stages of enlightenment and hence is no different from Karma Sanyas.

योगयुक्तो विशुद्धात्मा विजितात्मा जितेन्द्रिय: |
सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते || 5.7||
yoga-yukto vishuddhatma vijitatma jitendriyah
sarva-bhutatma-bhutatma kurvann api na lipyate
BG 5.7: The karm yogis, who are of purified intellect, and who control the mind and senses, see the Soul of all souls in every living being. Though performing all kinds of actions, they are never entangled.

The word atma has been used in multiple ways in the Vedic literature: for God, for the soul, for the mind, and for the intellect. This verse typifies all these uses. Shree Krishna describes the Karma Yogi who is Yog Yukt (united in consciousness with God). He says that such a noble soul is: 1) Vishuddhatma, of purified intellect, 2) Vijitatma, who has conquered the mind, and 3) Jitendriya, one who has controlled the senses.
