Īccording to Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita, Karma yoga is the spiritual practice of "selfless action performed for the benefit of others". It leads one to consider dharma of work, and the work according to one's dharma, doing god's work and in that sense becoming and being "like unto god Krishna" in every moment of one's life. Karma Yoga, states the Bhagavad Gita, purifies the mind. It teaches that a spiritual seeker should act according to dharma, without being attached to the fruits or personal consequences. Of the classical paths to spiritual liberation in Hinduism, karma yoga is the path of unselfish action. The three paths are not mutually exclusive in Hinduism, but the relative emphasis between Karma yoga, Jnana yoga and Bhakti yoga varies by the individual. To a karma yogi, right action is a form of prayer. Karma yoga ( Sanskrit: कर्म योग), also called Karma marga, is one of the four classical spiritual paths in Hinduism, one based on the " yoga of action", the others being Jnana yoga (path of knowledge), Raja Yoga (path of meditation) and Bhakti yoga (path of loving devotion to a personal god).
