Karma Yoga
In Karma yoga, you seek to cultivate a practice of action that creates the least disruption possible. You reflect on the course of the events you were involved in, how everything happened, your own actions included, and by doing so gain insight into how any event may weigh on your heart and mind, and influence your future actions.
There are bigger forces at play in the world than any form of human effort, and reality itself is “self-organizing” so to speak.
