To cleanse self of dross impurities within, to become a pure soul atman… all human beings on mother earth engaged in karma, the path of action! We must never forget, as detailed in scriptures of Jainism… every single thought precipitates into an act of karma.
Indulging in karma human beings did not reach stage of enlightenment. It was negation of karma to zero that led human beings to stage of enlightenment.
When human beings indulged in karma nishkama karma way of life spiritual journey expedited. Nishkama karma yoga means indulging in karma but not attaching self to fruits of karma performed. As per Lord Krishna we should work like a trustee, caretaker for whom everything all the time belonged to God Almighty. As we were primarily a soul atman, the fruits of karma performed by physical manifest self belonged to the real owner, our soul atman within!
In the physical manifest material world working with unattached attitude was meaningless but for spiritual journey, indulging in nishkama karma yoga was an absolute must! For a seeker who worked for welfare of entire mankind all the time, it was working with an unattached attitude that led to negation of karma. Absolute control over ego and five senses could not be established any other way. King Janaka, father of Sita in Ramayana though enlightened successfully indulged in affairs of his kingdom through path of nishkama karma yoga, never attaching self to affairs of kingdom! King Janaka was a perfect karma Yogi!
