    Query on Skill in Action 100%


    Hare Krishna,


    In chapter 2 the topic on 3 Levels of Karma speak about Uttama, Madhyama, and Adhama Karma with examples that anyone doing Karma will be having 100% skill in that Karma. For example, a thief might be 100% skill in doing the selfish act of stealing someone for selfish motive.

    My question is, if a thief steal someone but with the attitude of offering the theft item to Lord's feet - will that be a Karma yoga or not? He is not stealing for self and neither when he is acting, he is expecting a outcome.


    Please share your thoughts.

    Response from Dr. Komal Prasad , Param Vedanta Team .

    Ans 1

    Pratibandha are obstacles for any effort. They can come from 3 sources.

    1. Adidaivika= obstacles from supernatural forces

    2. Adibhautika= obstacles from surroundings

    3. Adhyatmika= obstacles from oneself, ill-health

    Ans2

    Totravetra+ eka= totravetraika is Vriddhi sandhi
