"Open pursuits, without desires of personal gains, enable society adopt work (Karma) as primary measure of value.

Work done under influence of desires - to seek preferred outcomes - skews the measure of effort involved.

For example if you were seeking money, you may unknowingly inflate the number of hours; if you were seeking recognition, you may end up investing time in publicity."

The path of #karmyoga is to systematically remove desires from actions .. but that is just a start ..

The goal is to enjoy the selfless work !

When we do that , #Gita says, we enjoy the success in this world and exit the maze upon death ..
