Description

Karma sannyasa is a dynamic and practical way of life, enabling the individual to develop higher awareness through life rather than away from it. The concept of karma sannyasa is to live life fully, to participate in all events externally while internally maintaining an attitude of non-doership. Explaining how closely attachment, desire and ambition govern our lives, Karma Sannyasa describes methods to transform these patterns and realize a happier outlook through the blossoming of spiritual awareness.

This book focuses on the guru-disciple relationship, family life and relationships, karma, self-respect and lifestyle, describing the process of realizing spirituality through everyday experiences.
