Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Q: The Gita teaches that one should have an active life from beginning to end. Sri Ramana Maharshi: Yes, the actorless action. Q: If one remains quiet how is action to go on? Where is the place for Karma Yoga? A: Let us first understand what Karma is, whose Karma it is and who is the doer. Analyzing them and enquiring into their truth, one is obliged to remain as the Self in peace. Nevertheless even in that state the actions will go on. Q: How will the actions go on if I do not act? A: Who asks the question? Is it the Self or another? Is the Self concerned with actions? Q: No, not the Self. It is another, different from the Self. A: So it is plain that the Self is not concerned with actions and so the question does not arise.
