- "What happens to your car if you press both the accelerator and brakes at the same time?" This is similar to what happens when we try to restrain our senses while our mind is still running wild.
- External renunciation can be dangerous if the mind has not renounced its desires. At some point, the suppressed mind will break free, leading to dangerous consequences.
- If the mind has been trained to give up its desires for sensual objects, our actions in the world will not be driven by the desire for fulfillment. Only such actions can be considered "karma yoga."
- Only a detached mind can perform actions without developing vasanas (impressions on the mind). Thus, the difference between karma and karma yoga is solely the attitude of the mind - attached or detached!
- Karma dissipates energy, while karma yoga conserves energy for contemplation on the higher Self.
