The essence of Karma Yoga

Whatever you do, make it an offering to God by doing it for others, without thought of selfish reward. Whether it is eating to sustain yourself so you can do work for others, giving gifts or charity, or even disciplining yourself to be a better person so others will enjoy being around you, dedicate them all as if you were performing a spiritual ritual and they become offerings to God. When you perform your actions in that way, they will not bind you to a good or bad result through karma. Through this practice you become free of personal desires and are not bound to this world. Thus you can achieve total liberation and become one with God.
