A tender and unripe fruit clings fast to the tree that bears and nourishes it; but when fully ripe it severs connection from its sustainer. Similarly, the karma yogi gets from prakriti the experience that matures into wisdom. He is a philosopher who translates principle into practice. Theorization and make believe have no place in his spiritual career. By experiment he knows that life in the super senses is superior to that in the senses. The mind of the unselfish man is more magnanimous than that of the selfish one. Life blossoms better in him who lives for others than in him who lives exclusively for himself. Just as sound sleep is possible only for him who works hard, deep meditation comes to him who has negated his individuality in the service of others. It is self -denial that brings in purification of the heart. The one pure in mind becomes one with Brahman who is all purity. Here karma yoga fruitions in karma sanyasa
