Karma Yoga is a practice that involves letting go of anxiety for results, which can result in peace and purity of the mind. 

The next step that Lord Krishna suggests is to release the notion that we are the "doers" of our actions.

Upon closer observation, we notice that over 95% of what happens within our body and the world around us is not decided by us. Additionally, we have no control over the behavior and actions of those around us. 

What defines action? Is it what we do consciously or what occurs even when we are not directly responsible? 

And what is inaction? Is it merely a state of laziness or is it being an alert witness without getting involved?
