Karma Marga
कर्म मार्ग
karma mārga
The path of selfless knowledge leading to union with God
Doing the duty ( Karma ) with no desire for fruit of action and the freedom from karma-rebirth cycle are some of the unique features of Indian thought. But nobody can live without doing Karma (action). Bhagavad Gita promotes the idea of karma phala tyaga (not expecting the fruit of action). If you expect fruit of action, it may create more karma. So destroy the karma phala hetu (the cause of karma) and be free.
Karma is a logical conclusion to Vedic thought. The idea is available in veda samhita, though the exact word is not used. Concept of karma is very much available in Upanishads.
