Paramahansa Yogananda on Karma Yoga and Kriya Yoga |
Harnessing the Power of Outer and Inner Action for Spiritual Success
Yoga is the art of doing everything with the consciousness of God. Not only when you are meditating, but also when you are working, your thoughts should be constantly anchored in Him.
To commune daily with God in deep meditation, and to carry His love and guidance with you into all your dutiful activities, is the way that leads to permanent peace and happiness.
If you work with the consciousness that you are doing it to please God, that activity unites you with Him. Therefore do not imagine that you can find God only in meditation. Both meditation and right activity are essential, as the Bhagavad Gita teaches. If you think of God while you perform your duties in this world, you will be mentally united with Him.

To work united with God is the greatest art to be mastered in this world. To carry on all activities with God-consciousness is the supreme yoga.
