The theoretical grounds and techniques of action in Karma Yoga are clearly stated by Kanna in the Bhagavad Gita, with the only observation that the order in which these ideas are presented is not the most convenient for Western people. Briefly, the wise teachings of Kanna are:
• 1. One can not be without action, even for a second
• 2. One should not make inaction one's goal
• 3. Certain actions are obligatory, therefore we cannot escape them
• 4. One should not desire the fruits (or consequences) of one's actions.
• 5. We should never be attached to action itself
• 6. One should never consider oneself the author of the action
• 7. Any action, regardless of its nature, done in this way, will not enchain its performer
• 8. Karma Yoga is the divine skill (wisdom and non-attachment) in actions
