Take Exam (Pay Later)Karma Yoga: Purifying the Chitta
The Essence
The Chitta (Hard Drive) is full of malware called 'Vasanas' (Latent Tendencies). Every time you act with selfish desire, you write more malware to the disk. Karma Yoga is the antivirus. It is the path for the Active Type (Mars/Sun). You cannot sit still, so you must act. But how do you act without creating chains?
Classical Verse
"Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana. (You have the right to perform the duty, but never to the fruits thereof. - Bhagavad Gita 2.47)"
Modern Translation
The Astrological Mechanism: The 10th House is Action. Saturn is the Lord of Karma. Saturn binds you only when you are attached to the Result (Phalam). The Hack: 'Nishkama Karma' (Action without Desire). Imagine you are a high-performance employee working for the CEO of the Universe. You do the job perfectly, but the profit and loss belong to the Company. When you stop claiming the result, the Chitta stops recording the 'Karma Cookies'. You become a Ninja of Action—moving through the world, leaving no footprints.
Practical Insight
The 'Yajna' Attitude. Before every major action (sending an email, trading a stock), mentally say: 'Idam Na Mama' (This is not mine). Offer the action to the Source. This cuts the karmic cord instantly.
