Performance with Detachment A detached performer identifies with ‘accomplishment’ and not with what is accomplished. (c) Chinmaya Mission
Gita’s guidance 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. (c) Chinmaya Mission
Intention @ work Often Ask to yourself: What am I doing? Why am I doing? How am I doing? Human mind is like a parachute. It works better when it is open! Is it related to what I would like to achieve? Can I delegate this to Someone? Can I do something differently without disturbing the Output? (c) Chinmaya Mission
Leading by living Whatever a great man does, that other men also imitate; whatever he sets up as the standard, that the world follows. Bhagavad-Gita 3.21 (c) Chinmaya Mission
