Undoing karma by the art of nondoing

 

Undoing karma by the art of nondoing

Since for every action there will be a reaction, consequences are inescapable

when where how what will be the consequences can neither be estimated nor anticipated, ‘’unfathomable is the range of karma’’ 

also ‘’the universe reacts to individual action’’

in such a predicament, is it possible really to undo the karma?

yes yes yes,  gita asserts, it is definitely possible really to undo the karma

not necessary to be suffering the karmic effects

here is the solution

‘’Gnyaanaagni dagdha karmani’’—is the clue

How?

‘’Yogastha kuru karmani’’---is the practical technique

Then the skill in action ‘’ karma sukaushalam’’ is gained

so, the wisdom is to act intelligently in such a way that results produced are the most desired, efforts unfailing, resources unwasted, life lived successfully, in fulfillment, seeing that consequences are nil or least damaging to the individual and the universe,

for coming out from the consequences karma  gita gives the practical hint ‘’naishkarmyam’’, ‘’the art of nondoing’’, the highest perfect state of freedom from reaction.

jitātmā vigata-spṛhaḥ
naiṣkarmya-siddhiḿ paramāḿ

‘’nondoing’’ is not to be understood as not doing

It is ‘’doing’’ in the state of ‘’nondoing’’

It is action in the state of stabilized Samadhi ,in which action melts instantly as one acts, like a line drawn on water, leaving no trace , as against a inerasable scratch made on the slate with a nail

In this state all desires will be life supporting, fulfillment of which will be instantly happening, causing all good for individual and the universe

Since the individual in this state is in union with the absolute being which is at the basis of running the universe,

His all his actions turn out to be the prayer at the altar of the supreme,

‘’yad yad karma karomi thath thath akhilam

shambho thava aaraadhanam’’

so spontaneous effortless, flawless infallible will be the actions and their results and consequences

no more karma binds no more needing rebirth, all actions redeemed then and there, clean slate, nonstick , no remnants, ever fresh, all joy, bliss moment to moment life long

Such a man in naishkarmyam says that ''He has not done anything, it just happened''
all is happening around Him. This is Naishkarmya Siddhi, getting result without putting any effort. 

You just be, be natural, and nature does everything for you. 

Nature anyways is doing the things perfectly, 

being natural is not interfering or objecting with it. 

When there is an intention with absolute surrender, the results come easily.

and the results of such karma are always life supporting and not binding the doer in any way

 

this is the art of doing in the state of nondoing jai gurudev
