&lt;em&gt;Perhaps Alok. Karmayoga has struck me as a concept which keeps offering me a different perspective each time I read it and it sort of keeps providing me an alternative view each time. I have seen my beliefs changing with that prospect so many times that I wonder what to believe in now! 
The idea of expecting from a person definitely offers a nicer brand of thought Alok. That is perhaps something which we can own as a mistake cos we certainly do not have the authority to expect something from someone. It is a greater feeling to get something without that expectation.
I agree, the tangible expectations are straighter to track and that is perhaps something in our control to work on and make a difference in.  I am very glad to hear that 3 copies have been sold so far Alok, I am sure there will be lots more orders to come. Wishing you the very best on that front. 

PS: I have been following this site - marcandangel.com, the way they market their book is pretty impressive. Thought it might help, worth checking it out once :) &lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

&lt;em&gt;That fits in so aptly Abhijit ji :). Kinda reminds me of Bhagawadgita where we all take the roles of a protagonist and the strings are being held with an unknown but yet a very powerful force.. At the bottom of the heart - knowing that it is all an act :) &lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://inspire99.com/zero-expectations/#comment-3584&quot;&gt;vinodinii&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;em&gt;Thank you Vinodinii :). I agree, it is a very fulfilling feeling to be doing something without many expectations out of it. Although it does get hard sometimes, sometimes just to realize that we can be grown up enough to let go of our expectations is a very reassuring feeling :) &lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I guess you took it wrong Vinay, when we say don&#039;t expect anything, it is not about not excepting results from things which you do, but it is all about expecting something from a person.

To be very frank, there are chances that person in your life would have selfish nature and will take benefits from you only, but won&#039;t do anything for you. So we normally say that don&#039;t expect from him/her, as expecting something from that person will definitely give you pain.

Similarly when you are doing some work, you should expect the tangible and feasible results from it, don&#039;t expect something which you yourself know that it is hard to be possible. Like I published my first book, and there might be chances that I could have thought that this book will become a bestseller, then it would not be a fair expectation.

I know my limitation and hence I thought one purchase of the same will be more than enough and to be my surprise so far its 3 copies has been sold. So that comes as a surprise to me.]]></description>
