In fact, any work done in this spirit of true meditation, detachment and freedom from self-obsession, rigidity or craving for results, ultimately proves to be powerful and thus productive — the law of least effort and also the Bhagawad Gita concepts of karmanyeva adhikarasthe and surrender to the supreme power all around, as also echoed in the Bible (Isaiah: 41,10), Fear thou not... I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. This state of acceptance, peace, clarity and an apparent effortless naturalness (the state of least disturbance) is the basis for realisation of ones full potential — the field of all possibilities, to use Mahesh Yogis term. This also is that state of self realisation and thus of an abiding confidence within — that state of equanimity, termed by Gita as samatvam, which verily is yoga. Doing all actions established in this state (yogastah kuru karmani), Mahesh Yogi points out, is the sure way to ensure that such actions prove to be right, evolutionary, effective and thus productive. Practical examples in daily life, as those of great leaders and statesmen, scientists, sportsmen, artistes and also those simple persons who may not have worldly attainments to boast of, but who are truly authentic — all these illustrate the actual working of the core of Mahesh Yogis exhortations on the art of right action (karmasu koushalam).
