Freedom from the bondage of Action

                  

Relinquishing the Desire for the Fruits of Action 

(1) Phalakanksa Tyaga : A man performs each act with a particular objective or other in mind. This natural an invariable law of Prakriti. Similarly , with every thought or deed the reactions in potentiality will inevitably have to be accumulated. As soon as any act is accomplished, the growth of the potentiality of reactions is stopped and this potential energy is inveriably transformed into the reactions of the actions performed.

    When we have no command over the results of our actions, it is vain to brood over the attainment of certain objectives. There is no use in brooding.  To continue to work in this way is to relinquish the desire for the fruits of action or Phalakanksa tyaga.

(2) Kartrutvabhimana Tyaga : Ordinarily, people perform actions with certain objective in view, but still there are many who perform actions not with a view to the result.

   Mere renunciation of the fruits of actions will not do. The vanity of having performed an act , for exam, the desire to see the news of gift published in the newspapers, all contributes to the formation of mental vibrations. Samskara will continue to multiply as before.

   The term " Iishvara " means Purusa uninfluenced by actions,   affections , result or objectives.

     But we have seen above that so long as Prakriti's dominance prevails, it is not possible to be actions-free for that particular action being performed at that point of time.

          To avoid such thoughts, the belief has to be developed that Brahma is only served or chosen by Brahma. That is Brahma inspires us to donate and again receives the same through others. It is simply by the grace of Brahma that we act and have the favorable opportunity of performing this act. It is possible to avoid the doer's vanity or kartrutvabhimana tyaga by developing  this belief.

(3) Surrendering all actions unto Brahma :  However , all is not over by renouncing the desire or abandoning the doer's vanity. So long as Prakriti is active , rajaguna is there , causing actions. The actions have been performed by Brahma alone and their consequences, whether good or bad , will be borne by Brahma alone. 

 Many people do not do anything out of fear of reaction, and they become indolent. But can they really become devoid of actions ? Thought they do not act externally, their heart and other oragns continue to function. Moreover inactivity or apparent inaction can never be commended.  It also keeps the mind completely engrossed in Brahma. Those who have surrendered their mind to Brahma are the real Sannyasis. 

    He or she who acts for a gain is called a greedy person and acting under the influence of greedy , they are carried to to the dark hell. I do not act for any fruit , rather surrender all my actions unto Brahma.  As a consequence of this , human beings quality for the attainment of Mukti or Moksa.
