Philosophy @ Work
In this (Detached performance) there is no loss of
effort, nor is there any harm (contrary result). Even a
little performance protects one from great fear.
The essence of Karma Yoga

You can choose your action.

You cannot choose the result of action.
You can choose your reaction.

May you not be without action.

him.

directions.

follow.

• He is part of the group he leads and does not
remote-control.
