2012 Reprint of 1933 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is
a set of lectures by Swami Vivekananda on the subject of Karma
Yoga, one of the several yogic paths to enlightenment. Karma Yoga
is a mental discipline which allows one to carry out one's duties
as a service to the entire world, as a path to enlightenment. By
working in the real world, but giving up attachment to work, we can
obtain spiritual liberation. Vivekananda discusses the concept of
Karma in the Bhagavada-Gita, and singles out the Buddha as a
primary example of this form of yoga. Chapters include: Chapter I.
Karma In Its Effect On Character Chapter II. Each Is Great In His
Own Place Chapter III. The Secret of Work Chapter IV. What is Duty?
Chapter V. We Help Ourselves, Not the World Chapter VI.
Non-Attachment Is Complete Self-Abnegation Chapter VII. Freedom
