The definition of Karma Yoga is selfless action without expectation or reward. Salman Khan fits this description: He gave up a lucrative career to sit in his closet and create 10 minute educational videos that he then posts on the internet for free!
Karma Yoga is very powerful in that it will at least change the person doing it. Sometimes it has chances of changing the world as this video indicates. Sal Khan’s videos and methods have found funding with Bill Gates and Google and have already been adopted by some school systems. Bill Gates calls this “the future of education”. The impact of this will be to revolutionize education and empower millions of struggling students to reach their true potential. The power of unlocking so much human potential is simply too dazzling to fathom. It shows the power of selfless action and Karma Yoga. Please forward to all those who may find this of interest.
