Karma yogi

Someone who has given up fruits of his action.

That is karma yoga.

Simple !

Not quite.

Everything we do , we want and aim towards the results

You study. You want To pass – failed from karma yoga standpoint

You see pizza You want it to taste good. And when it does not taste good – your upset. Once again failed karma yoga

You sign up for vacation. Go on a tour. Why ? You want to enjoy. That is not karma yoga

Everything We do , our focus is on the fruits

Do you see how difficult it is.

And do you see why we cannot recognize a perfected person ? He will travel. But he did not look forward to it or crave it. Something came up and has to go

Yogananda says

A lazy person never finds God. An idle mind becomes the workshop of the devil. But persons who work for a living without any wish for the fruits of action, desiring God alone, are true renunciants.
Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

But the laziest person has found God. He is so lazy he gives up breathing ( give up breathing – samadhi )
A pun.

We all should work and strive for perfection
