Desireless Action
Desireless Action :
Scriptures and spiritual writers use the metaphor of sowing live and roasted seeds. Desireless action is like a roasted seed – it can never germinate. On the other hand, action with some conscious or unconscious desire is like a “live” seed that will sprout into a tree bearing fruits of karma that will, in turn, have further live seeds. Thus, the karmic cycle perpetuates due to desires.
That is why Krishna advises us in the Bhagwad Gita, verse 2:47 -- ‘Karmanyewadhikaraste, ma phaleshu kadachan’ -- You have a right only to perform an action and not a right to its fruit.
Om Namah Shivay
