Nishkama

The cultivation of this Paramitas is an important step towards perfection of man. Nishkama does not mean retirement from the world. It actually defines as renunciation of the fruits of one's good actions.

Man must endeavour to do his duty in accordance with the light that is given to him and should not concern himself with the success and failures of his efforts. Duty must be done without fear and favour and without regard to any hazards that man may run for himself.

But where others are concerned he must use its forbearance and the gift of persuasion to its very limit. He must also wisely avail of all the opportunities that come his way, should these be fair.

He should plan and work for success and for achieving it need to acquire perfection in his art but should misfortune assail him, he should remain undaunted and cheerful. He must not on any account lose heart. Nishkama presupposes a spirit of spontaneity in the man. Choice of good should become a habit with him, it must be the natural slant of his nature.
