Of course there is a need to understand the meanings of the terms Karma, Akarma, Vikarma as they are employed in Bhagvad Gita.
Doing your duty, Selfless/Expectatio nless Service is "Akarma". Here you are not doing for your 'self' ! "A" before "karma" negates it to be for you ( without desire for results) ! You are doing for others. You are renouncing in fact. You are employing inert back into the inert. You are changing the direction of Karma towards the world from whom only you got the very faculty and tools for "to do". All karmas done with Equanimity are "Akarmas".
"Karmas" are those actions which we do "with a worldly desire" say for results. They essentially create a bondage for you- irrespective of whether the "Karta" ( Jeeva) was sattwik, rajasic or tamasic at the time of doing the Karma. Unless a Karma is in nature of "Akarma"- it binds you - by positive (favourable) , negative (adverse) and mixed results. A Sadhak strives to convert these automatically happenning Karmas into "Akarmas". He changes his 'bhavas' in order to do that. He changes/purifies his ego in order to convert "karmas" into "akarmas"- so that he gets no further bondaged and gets liberated- becomes peaceful.
"Vikarmas" are prohibited Karmas which a human is not supposed to do. They should not be done. They give negative results always.

The meaning of Akarma is wrongly explained here. Akarma means inaction, not selflessness karma.
Please refrain from critisizing when you do not know the actual thing...Akarma means exactly what is stated here..As the term 'Priceless' means Amulya similarly 'Akarma' means the greater and selfless Karma.
