You are neither a doer nor an experiencer of results
धर्माधर्मौ सुखं दुःखं मानसानि न ते बिभो ।
न कर्ताऽसि न भोक्ताऽसि मुक्त एवाऽसि सर्वदा ॥ ६ ॥
dharmādharmau sukhaṃ duḥkhaṃ mānasāni na te bibho |
na kartā’si na bhoktā’si mukta evā’si sarvadā || 6 ||
Righteousness and unrighteousness, pleasure and pain are purely of the mind and are no concern of yours. You are neither the doer nor the reaper of the consequences, so you are always free (liberated). ||chapter 1, Verse 6||
You are an integral and indivisible part of the Totality viz., the Absolute Self and all action which appears to have been done by you, emanate from the Totality. In the vast ocean, each wave thinks that it is rising up by its own power and competes with other waves. It is a wrong notion. The wave is moved by the energy of the entire ocean and is only a witness of its rise and fall. We are all the waves of the ocean of the Infinite Consciousness. The body-mind complex is an imagination of the mind just like the bodies seen in a dream. All the activities done by the body are categorised as virtuous or sinful by the mind based on its conditioning. The virtuous acts or sinful acts are supposed to result in joy or sorrow. When once we realise that we are not the doers, we cannot also experience the results of the acts. Thus, as the results of the actions cannot bind us, the Infinite Reality, we are always free and ever liberated. It is the acts done in one birth that bind us so that we have to take birth again and again to reap the fruits of the actions. When once we disclaim the body-mind complex as ours and thus the doership, we can never be subject to birth and death. We remain ever free.
