karmayogi

Desert the desire for outcome, treat success and failure in the same way, perform with an nonchalance toward success and failure.

This is the explanation of a karmayogi.. a person who has achieved God through work/service. So whatever explanation will come to your mind, always remember that the person related is always living in society (you can think about mother teresa).

A karmayogi is never worried about being hurt, when he is working he is nonchalant toward obstruction in his works, insult, failure, negative outcomes. These things don’t make any effect on him.

His only purpose behind performing is helping others, benefit of others. He never performs for his own well being, comfort or luxury. His only goal is to complete his work properly. Due to this nonselfish attitude toward work his heart is always full of pleasure and no adversity can bring him down.

When he is receiving happiness through work, then too he is nonchalant.. rewards, successful completion, victory, honour.. these things don’t overwhelm him, he just stays as calm as he was during adverse moments.

A karmayogi never regrets or feels bad about adversity and he never looks forward towards positive outcomes or applauds. He just remains calm, happy and nonchalant.

That is where he shines over normal human beings, who are moved by both adversity and success.

This is why it is said that his wisdom is stable. Because there is only one feeling residing him.. feeling of peace, calm and happiness.. no matter what his surroundings are. His wisdom is completely laid on God, within God. he realizes that the entire universe is a part of God and everything else is forever changing, so he lays his wisdom on God and faces the world as an everchanging phenomenon. That is why he is so calm, happy and peaceful.
