| Arjuna y Krishna, resumen estos conceptos en el Bhagavad Gita |
El "yo quiero" es un ciclo sin fin que produce en el hombre una ansiedad y preocupación constante. El orgullo conduce a la arrogancia y esta al engreimiento, causando al destrucción de la persona al cegarnos totalmente.
Para ayudar a superar esta condición del "yo" y aliviar la mayoría de nuestros sufrimientos el principio de Karma yoga nos puede ayudar a sobrellevar el dolor que nace del orgullo y de la conciencia del "yo", evitando que el orgullo, la arrogancia y la vanidad nos confunda.

El Karma yoga puede considerarse una práctica de servicio altruista, exenta de la influencia del ego.
Karma yoga is described as a way of acting, thinking and willing by which one orients oneself towards realization by acting in accordance with one's duty (dharma) without consideration of personal self-centered desires, likes or dislikes. One acts without being attached to the fruits of one's deeds.
Simply put, one does not get irritated, annoyed or unhappy, when the result of a deed is not as expected.
Any conscious action is motivated by some expectation about the outcome, yet one is to be careful to not let this expectation be selfish in a certain sense. Instead, act without desires for profit, with no claims to proprietorship, and free from lethargy. This is accomplished by surrendering ownership of action to the Supreme instead of abandoning action itself.

My interpretation of "surrendering ownership" is that one should act following the designs of the supreme and the task He expect you to perform, in accordance with your dharma, that is, in accordance with the mission your[higher]self commended to your[lower]self in order to ultimately attain the Supreme.
Krishna states:
The Bhagavad Gita gives a summary of the karma yoga process.[1] The Gitaitself is a chapter from the epic known as Mahabharata, wherein a dialogue takes place between the prince Arjuna, and his friend and chariot driver, Lord Krishna, on the brink of a great dynastic war. Their conversation is prompted by Arjuna as he is engulfed by sorrow and misgivings regarding the oncoming battle in which he has friends and relatives on both sides. In reply, Krishna then elucidates upon a number of philosophical yoga systems and practices (including karma yoga) by/through which Arjuna should indeed continue with the fight on righteous principles.

Simply put, one does not get emotionally involved in the action being performed, becoming overly excited successful or upset or angry when the result of a deed is not as expected. The result may be negative or positive. Geeta also talks about "Meta"-Karma Yoga. I.e. not getting irritated, annoyed or unhappy when one gets attached to the result even after trying to practice Karma Yoga. Krishna states:
Krishna explains that work done without selfish expectations purifies one's mind and gradually makes an individual fit to see the value of reason.
He states that it is not necessary to remain in external solitude, or remain actionless, in order to practice a spiritual life, since the state of action or inaction is primarily determined in the mind.
Surrendering action to the supreme
Of the three paths to realization, karma yoga is the process of achieving perfection in action. Karma yoga is derived from the spiritual life. Karma yoga is said to be the most authentic way to progress in the spiritual life.
Found in the Bhagavad Gita, karma yoga is a part of nature. Karma yoga is taught by teachers of zen who promote tranquility. Karma yoga is often understood as a yoga of selfless (altruistic) service.Surrendering action to the supreme
Krishna then goes on to describe how Arjuna should surrender the fruits of his actions (good or bad) to him, (as the Supreme Person or avatar) :
Any conscious action is motivated by some expectation about the outcome, yet one is to be careful to not let this expectation be selfish in a certain sense. This is accomplished by surrendering ownership of action to Krishna. This surrender is called sAttvika tyAga (to contrast it with tAmasika tyAga or abandoning action itself as Arjuna was about to).
Recomended Shloka to repeat before performing the action:
