Il karma yoga è una delle quattro ramificazioni del cosiddetto yoga classico dell'oriente. Nonostante molti ricercatori del pensiero indù lo considerino a volte più antico dello Jnana-yoga e del Raja-yoga, esso rappresenta tuttavia un punto di partenza ed una parte essenziale degli insegnamenti compresi nella Bhagavad-Gita, aspetto che gli conferisce a sufficient guarantee of authenticity.
Like all other forms of yoga, Karma yoga also has, in turn, primary purpose and end, if not unique, facilitating and accelerating the spiritual evolution of the one who practice constancy. It differs from other forms of yoga, however, in the sense that from the start, it can always be practiced, all day, and is applicable to all the specific activities of man, but Bhakti-yoga, for the most individuals can not be approached except at a very advanced stage of practice, the Jnana-yoga and Raja yoga (along with his variant of the basic Hatha yoga) can not be practiced rather than in a specific time of day, for a given period of time. For this reason, we can consider literally Instant Karma-yoga a form of yoga in daily life.
regard to Karma-yoga, the tradition provides us with several definitions. However, the most current, and at the same time one of the best definitions, although far from complete, is as follows: the fusion of yoga as deep and filled with the Divine through every selfless.
Karma Yoga part in his path, from the observation that in every moment of our daily lives, even when we feel forced and do a certain thing or another, but we are free to choose and we have full responsibility for our opinions.
resort to any spiritual discipline (yoga or any spiritual path) implies the admission of the fact that man has free will, so that will give guidance to her life than in choosing the means will use.
The question of "essential" to which Karma yoga helps us to answer is this: how and why we must choose between two or more possibilities at some point we are offered? In fact, as unexpected seems to Westerners, the constant practice of Karma-yoga system gives us the greatest freedom.
We can also add that fits in the best way to Westerners, always eager to act and always skeptical about the values \u200b\u200bof the East, the most spiritual disciplines away from practical life of a world so materialistic. It should be emphasized that this form of yoga does not exclude in any way the simultaneous practice of other forms of yoga, in fact only serves to increase their effectiveness, however, this association is never mandatory, since, when it is practiced singolarmente, il Karma-yoga è sufficiente di per sé
Aggiungiamo che, nel caso di uno stadio avanzato, la pratica del Karma-yoga non necessita in sé dell'aiuto di nessuna disciplina fisica e di nessun regime alimentare speciale, tuttavia è evidente che anche il karma yogi deve fare tutto il possibile per rimanere in salute. Infine, possiamo aggiungere che il sistema Karma-yoga non è quasi in nessun modo legato ad alcuna concezione metafisica o religiosa.
