Karma Yoga Śloka Saṅgrahaḥ
Dhyāna Śloka
Pārāśaryavacaḥ sarojamamalam

Loke sajjanaṣaṭpadairaharahaḥ
pepīyamānam mudā
bhūyādbhāratapaṅkajam kalimala
pradhvam̐sinaḥ śreyase.
May this lotus of the Mahabharata, born in the lake of the words of the son of Parasara(Vyasa), sweet with the fragrance of the meaning of Gita, with many stories as its stamens, fully opened by the discourses on Hari, the destroyer of the sins of Kali, and drunk joyously day by day, by the bees of good men in the world become the bestower of good to us.
Now the Compilation of the verses of Karma Yoga from Bhagavadglta
1
Atha Srīmad Bhagavadgītāsu
Karma Yoga Sloka Sangrahah
Arjuna Uvāca
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 1
arjuna uvācha
jyāyasī chet karmaṇas te
matā buddhir janārdana,
tat kiṁ karmaṇi ghore māṁ
niyojayasi keśhava
Arjuna said: O Krishna! If your belief is that knowledge is superior to action, then why do you engage me in this dreadful act of battle?
2
Srī Bhagāvanu vāca
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 4
na karmaṇām anārambhāt
naiṣhkarmyaṁ puruṣho ’śhnute,
na cha sannyasanād eva
siddhiṁ samadhigachchhati
Man does not match the actionless state of Brahman by mere non-performance of work, nor does he attain perfection by renunciation only.
3
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 5
na hi kaśhchit kṣhaṇam api
jātu tiṣhṭhatyakarma-kṛit,
kāryate hyavaśhaḥ karma
sarvaḥ prakṛiti-jair guṇaiḥ
No one can live even for a moment without doing work. Everyone without his will is made to do work by the qualities born of Prakriti.

karmendriyāṇi samyamya
ya āste manasā smaran,

5
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 7
yas tvindriyāṇi manasā
niyamyārabhate ’rjuna,
karmendriyaiḥ karma-yogam
asaktaḥ sa viśhiṣhyate
But, O Arjuna! he who controls the senses with the mind, and commences the discipline of Karma yoga by his organs of action without attachment, is the best.

anubandhaṁ kṣhayaṁ hinsām
anapekṣhya cha pauruṣham,
mohād ārabhyate karma

7
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 18, Verse 24
yat tu kāmepsunā karma
sāhankārena vā punaḥ,
kriyate bahulāyāsaṁ
tad rājasam udāhṛitam
That action which is done by one longing for desires, or again with egotism, or with much effort, is declared to be Rajasic (Karma).
8
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 18, Verse 23
niyataṁ saṅga-rahitam
arāga-dveṣhataḥ kṛitam,
aphala-prepsunā karma
yat tat sāttvikam uchyate
