Taking Action as A Spiritual Practice

In this episode, Eckhart talks with an audience in Hawaii. He
jokes that while many are reluctant to leave the island paradise,
their task is to bring expanded consciousness to every area of
their lives. Eckhart explains as awareness grows, we add a
dimension of presence to everything we do. We may work the same
job, but we do it in a different way. We become still and then
take our insights into action. Eckhart says giving the fullest
attention to our performance in the moment is critical. Then
whatever task we perform has purpose whether it’s creating a work
of art or running a company we release excessive focus on the
outcome.  The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Hindu text, referred
to it as Karma Yoga because Karma means action. When we attend to
our daily lives whatever action we take becomes part of our
spiritual practice.
