4.7 Karma of three kinds

Yoga Sutra 4.7 Karma of three kinds Those who are not immersed in samadhi generate three types of karma. Yogis who have achieved integration, by living beyond attachment to results, do not accumulate karma. For others, karma is negative, positive and mixed.

Do your actions reflect a growing balance within you? https://simple-yoga.org This is an excerpt from the book Unravel the Thread available at: Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737648202/ Alibris https://www.alibris.com/Unravel-the-Thread-Applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life-Rub-n-V%C3%9Fsquez/book/50532904?matches=5 Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/unravel-the-thread-rub-n-v-squez/1139928755 Indiebound https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781737648208 Thriftbooks https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/unravel-the-thread-applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life_rubn-vsquez/29003752/#edition=60132974&idiq=52585765
