Doership = Worldly Bondage

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

"Question. Yes, it is possible. But it cannot be said with certainty that it is

really illusion. When such is the case, why should we not accept the experience

to be true and say that Kartritva (doership) is the Swabhava (natural trait) of

Atma?

 

Answer. If doership were to be the natural trait of the Atma, it should be there

always because Swabhava is a permanent feature. As long as there is doership,

there will be worldly bondage. Therefore, we will have to accept that no amount

of Vedantic discussion can remove the bondage and thus, Moksha is impossible to

achieve. In such a contingency, the entire Vedanta Shastra would have to be

considered useless."
