| Now you are in
Hawaii. You go to check in and find that the hotel does not have the room that you wanted.
Suddenly you are miserable. You raise hell. You make your point, make phone calls and before you know it is not only you who is unhappy but your family, the travel agent and the hotel employees; every one involved is unhappy. No, it is not the room or the meals or the manners that is the cause of unhappiness in this instance. It is as if you are looking for the unhappiness and the room is an excuse waiting to be the cause. The dream vacation has come but you have the habit and momentum ofremaining unhappy. Nishkam karma is based on this realization that the expectation of results of a karma is the cause of unhappiness. Does it mean that there should be no planning. Planning and expectation of results are two different things. Planning, budgeting or forecasting is different than the painful desire and expectations that drive your being and literally inhibit you from giving your full energy to the work. |
