[A question by Shri Anil]
Swami replied:- Vikarma is sin, which shall be avoided at any cost. Karma means both God’s work and worldly work. If your worldly work is replaced by God’s work, you are doing Akarma, which means not doing worldly work. Akarma does not mean not doing any type of work and about such Akarma God warned (Mā te saṅgo'stvakarmaṇi— Gītā). God also said that you shall find Akarma in Karma and vice-versa. This means that you shall find Akarma (absence of worldly work) in Karma (God’s work) and you shall find Karma (God’s work) in Akarma (absence of worldly work). This means that you shall not think worldly work while doing God’s work and also that you shall at least think of doing God’s work whenever there is no worldly work.
