“Action and inaction, the positive and the negative, have lost their meaning to him who has rid himself of all the Vāsanā or mental impressions of a binding nature. He has no desire either for this world or the other. How, then, can he have the impulsion to live and to do anything at all?”
“When a person has no idea of agency in action, when he does not feel that he does anything himself, when his intellect is not contaminated by the idea of doership, enjoyership, etc., he shall not be affected by anything that he does, even if he were to destroy the whole world. Such is the opinion of the Bhagavad Gītā.”
~ Swami Krishnananda, The Philosophy of the Panchadasi
