The
urge to achieve: to do; to accomplish; to strive and attain, actuates those
who have, whether with conscious intent, or because of a vague "inward
urge," devoted their lives to taking an active part in the material or
intellectual achievements of the race.
There are those who are blindly following (as far as their mental
operations are concerned), the path of Karma Yoga; that is, they work
without knowing why they work; they work because they are compelled to do
so, as slaves of the law; these will work their way out of that necessity
of fulfillment, in the course of time, even though they blindly follow the
urge; but, if they could be made to work as masters of the conditions under
which they labor, instead of as slaves to environment, they would find
themselves at the end of that path. Karma Yoga would have been
accomplished.
"Work as those work who are ambitious" but be not thou enslaved by the
delusion of personal ambition--this is the password to liberation from
Karma Yoga.
_Raja Yoga_ is the way of the strongly individualized _will_.
