So it can be understood that it is not possible for one to reach the goal by following Karma marga today.

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

The purpose of all rituals and duties is to please the Lord. Nothing else pleases the Lord as much as the chanting of the Divine names. So, chanting the divine names of the Lord is sufficient.

Modern philosophers have given a new definition to Karma marga. In their perspective, one may work as a teacher, a doctor or a lawyer, but whatever be their profession it must be done as selfless service to God. Selfishness, anger, lust, etc. are found even in an individual who spends all his time in puja, japa and dhyana and is seldom involved in any worldly activity. When it is so even with those who do not involve themselves in any worldly activity, it can easily be understood that it is just impossible to be involved in any worldly activity without a trace of selfishness, as modern philosophers say. So it can be understood that it is not possible for one to reach the goal by following Karma marga today.
