Karma

My atheistic journey started with Krishna's famous views on Karma.. "Karma karo magar phal ki chinta mat karo".. My argument (as that of many others) was that if I dont worry about the result, why the hell would I do any work.. More than 15 years have passed, but these thoughts still linger on, though these are not a basis for atheistic inclinations now.. Infact I am beginning to like these thoughts.. Just do the things that you like to do or rather whats right to do.. I dont like the right part much.. But I think most of the times the things that you like are the ones which are right.. So what this means is that you get completely involved in the things that are right and those that you want to do.. This in turn results in achieving what you want.. I dont know whether Krishna said this to bring more focus and hence achieving results..So what he s doing is bringing in more focus to your efforts.. I dont know whether this interpretation is correct.. But I dont like this interpretation.. What I like is that merely doing something without any focus on the result is much more enjoyable.. Results are by products.. These can enhance the experience of doing the thing, but ends are not ends in themselves.. Doing your "karma" is!
