Write a short note on Nishkama Karma.
Nishkama Karma is a concept from Hindu philosophy that translates to "selfless action" or "action without attachment to the fruits of one's actions." It is a key principle outlined in the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu scripture, and it forms the basis of Karma Yoga, one of the paths to spiritual liberation.
According to Nishkama Karma, individuals are encouraged to perform their duties and responsibilities diligently, without being motivated by desires for personal gain, recognition, or reward. Instead, they are advised to focus on the intrinsic value and righteousness of their actions, surrendering the outcomes to a higher power or divine will.
Nishkama Karma teaches detachment from the fruits of action, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a selfless attitude and maintaining equanimity in success and failure alike. By practicing Nishkama Karma, individuals aim to transcend the ego and attain spiritual liberation (moksha) by performing actions as offerings to the divine, without being bound by the cycle of karma and its consequences.
