Says Aacharya Vinoba Bhave, One of the Greatest Freedom Fighters of India, During British Raj, " Karma Yoga & Sanyaasa, Both Are One & The Same, Though They Sound Different "





Vinoba Jee is so correct. In fact to me, Sanyasa looks easier to practise. Karma Yoga is indeed so difficult to practise !!! So very difficult , So very difficult many a times !!! 

You are going on doing you work, with your heart and soul, your mind and intellect, without expecting anything in return; nothing whatsoever in return,; not even a simple thank U, a simple word of gratitude or a simple word of appreciation; with the least signs of provocation on your face, or on your Inner-Self, least signs of displeasure or anger, however harsh is the treatment, however provocative the language of the beneficiaries, the language of society, the language of the world.

One requires tremendous Soul-Force, tremendous Atma-Balam, mighty power of endurance, to practise Karma Yoga. Just No Jokes !!!

Only when you start practising 'Karma Yoga' in your real everyday life, you start gradually realizing, what a Herculean task, is the practise of 'Karma Yoga' , recommended by the Great Lord Krishna in His 'Bhagavad Gita'. No jokes, No jokes !!! 

At every step, your patience is tested, your balance of mind is tested, your power of endurance is tested, your greed is tested, your selflessness is tested, your power to sacrifice the personal comforts of life is tested, your weakness for name and fame is tested. The trials are INFINITE, the tribulations are INFINITE.

To me Sanyaasa looks far-far easier, any day, though Vinoba Jee says, both require same amount of Inner Strength to practise, in real life. 

Anyway, Vinoba Jee was a great man with immense spiritual inclinations, and he knows more than me, any day, any day.
