I am the all pervading, all encompassing , limitless , invisible, reality that is atma. Knowing this fullness, I am not the actor also. We rely on action and its result for happiness, but being all pervasive, how can a limited action in some small body bring about, me, the reservoir of infiniteness, into anything more than how much I already am, already being limitless. Knowing thus, atma is understood to be not related to action and its results, neither dependent on action and its results.Action and its results belong to the body, which is what we say in the kamokarishad japam.
