Action and Fear

Action is laden with fear. ON any action, there is a fear of the result of action, since the result of action is unknown. This is in order, since for my own security I am afraid of unknown.
I do not know the result of an action. I can expect a result based on past data, based on my learning from childhood. I can try to predict a result, but I cannot be sure. I do not know what governs the results.

Shruti is my source of knowledge here, shruti tells me that the principle which is karma phala dAtA is ishvara. He provides the results for my actions.That means there is an order , based on which results to actions are provided.This order is in the form of karma and dharma.

Dharma is the absolute order.Karma is my actions in relation to the order.

Any actions that confirm to the order of dharma result in punya karma and any action contrary to the order of dharma result in pApa karma. This punyA pApA baggage is what I arrive with in this world.

Hence any action of mine I strive to be in accordance with dharma.

I understand the presence of ishvara in the form of this dharma order, as well as the nimmitta upAdhAna kAranA that manifests the situations in my life in the form of people things and situations.

That manifests in the physical, psychological, biological orders in the form of various devatAs.

Hence, knowing this the fear involved in the performance of an action is absolved, since there is security in ishvara arpana and prasAda buddhi. However, if we still feel bound by our actions, and our own prarabdha, shruti goes one step further.

Here shruti teaches that you are brahman, that ekatma which is the reality of jiva and ishvara.

You are actionless substratum. You are the non doer. Knowing thus you are free from action now and here. Any action is mithya in the order of mithya. You are not the kartA or bhOkta. The kartA is you, but you are not the kartA. The bhoktA is you, but you are not the bhoktA. These are statuses. Similarly , karma phala dAtA is a status.These are all roles or status attributed to ekatma. This attribution is mayA. There is no reality to mAyA other than that of brahman. Hence brahman is not subject to mAyA , rather mAyA depends on brahman. Brahman is unaffected by mAyA.

Knowing thus, there is nothing more to be said. The status of a bound jiva is a dream which has its reality only as a kalpanA or a story. There is only brahman which is the life of all this play. The mandate is to be a player in this game. We go with the mandate.As the mandate is ishavara.Hairh om.
Hence no action is bound, no action is a duty or bondage, Action is instead a reality of what is unfolding, it is ishvara darshanA.Which means the action is ishvara.The response is ishvara.

The dynamic play of action and reaction, of act and result are the play of natarajeshwara.

This is live Nataraja darshanam without going to Chidambaram.This is what shruti tells us.This is the purpose of human life.

Harih om.
