Task
Deed
Job
Act
Work
kaam etc are different from karm. Actually no English (western) world can define or do justice to Vedic word KARM.
Only the Geeta has stated pure intense and absolute knowledge (gyan) of KARM.
Karm towards body mind and soul, family society country world and the entire Universe. THAT KARM IS DHARM.
Even highly evolved souls after cutting previous collection of karm have to be absolutely aware of the daily created karms till they live on Earth. Karms are created daily, every moment, as one takes food daily but expels waste….karms too need to be washed off….and that is why karm hee karm ko kaat-ta hai….BUT this does not mean that a ‘good’ karm mitigates the effect of a ‘bad’ one….one has to go through EVERY EFFECT GENERATED BY SO CALLED GOOD OR BAD THOUGHTS WORDS OR DEEDS. Even when faced by the effect of a ‘bad’ karm or ‘past life’ karm, when one is firm in karm yog, then one gets strength and wisdom to SAIL through it peacefully and gracefully.  Overall, the emphasis is to be AWARE that whatever act is performed should be by KNOWING THE CALL OF THE SOUL….the inner self, but knowing the REAL VOICE OF THE SOUL comes through sadhna! So until then we should PERFORM EVERY DEED THAT COMES INFRONT of us to the MAXIMUM OF OUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL CAPACITY.
One who knows how to completely detach  the self from karm – taking wisdom out of it (clue for further growth) –WALKS LIGHT AS A BEING OF LIGHT.
