So, in essence:
- Aspire for the fruit of action or Karmaphalam
and you will get the fruit of the world, complete in its
duality, i.e., joy and sorrow.
- Give up your claim to the fruit of action or Karmaphalam
and practice Karmaphala Tyagam; you will then get
the Divine Fruit, i.e., unalloyed Bliss.
We can at this stage distinguish three kinds of action or
Karma.
- Karma or action performed with an eye on the
fruit.
- Karma or action done relinquishing the fruit,
i.e., in the spirit of Karmaphala Tyagam.
- Karma or action done relinquishing the fruit
and as a loving offering to God.
