Here is what Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras say about karma:Karmas (actions and reactions). When you do something, there is a reaction ultimately to everything we do. But what comes first the chicken or the egg, the action or the reaction. Karma refers to everything we do or have done and its far-reaching affect on everything else. (YS 2:12) Karmas bring about the fruits of pleasures and pain.
When we practice truly detaching ourselves so that we can have preferences without attachments we can be free from disappointment and pain and can continually practice converting everything to happiness. Pain is avoidable if it has not yet come. What we overcome is future sorrow avoided. (YS 2:13-2:16) “In the Bhagavad Gita, one of the oldest and most beautiful spiritual teachings in existence, non-attachment to the fruit of your action is called Karma Yoga. It is described as the path of ‘consecrated action’.” p. 57, The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle |
