Karma Yoga - Always choose freedom

All of us have desires. When we desire something deeply, the universe fulfils it, sometimes in totally unexpected ways. When we see our past desires fulfilled, we are tempted to accept restrictions on our future in order for our past desires to come true in the present. When we do so, we are choosing bondage, and we are rejecting freedom. To practice Karma yoga is to always choose the highest level of freedom.

As humans, we are never free from desire. We can never escape from desire. However, we can choose to not attach significance to whether the desires are fulfilled or not. When we do our tasks without attachment to the outcomes, we are free. Our decisions are based only on the present, and not on the past or the future. We live a life of spontaneity, awareness, and joy.
