Greetings,

When digesting the " non-actions " discussed, I am left wondering

about how karma and sanskara (latent tendencies from past lives) fit

into the picture. Do we try to put effort into creating good karma

and erasing sanskara or are these also ill perceptions of the mind?

Your very question (the reason you ask this) is

karma. The very reason I write a reply is karma. Karma

always forces us to do something. As stated in the

Gita, everbody is forced to act helplessly. Nothing to

do about it. Gunas play themselves.

 

So nobody is actually doing anything. We just imagine,

there's a personal " I " , and take ownership of actions.

That way we think we control something.
