Atma is non doer

I do an action impelled by atma, where atma is non doer. A desire arises to do an action that needs to be done. It is the to be performed action. This to be performed action  I need to perform, and in the performance there are various components.

There is atma as the self the blessing principle behind the action.

There is atma as the doer of the action, the ahamkara.

There is the desire to perform the action.

There is a motivation to perform the action.

Motivation is based on the role of the person.

There is a role play to be performed.

The role is atma, and there is ishvara who is atma, in the form of the role definer.

He defines the duties and the to be performed for the role.

I have myself as the instrument available for performing that role.

The role is me, but I am not the role.

The director is me, and ishvara is the director.

The purpose of the action should be to please ishvara.

Ishvara is pleased when we perform the to be done action.

There are the various instruments of action, that aid in performance of the action.

There are various devatas blessing those instruments of action to perform the action.

This is the same devata with whose directions we perform the action.

Then once the action is done, the result of the action is for ishvara to take care of.

Any enjoyment or pain both are experienced by atma and ishvara both.

Atma is the pure witness consciousness.

Ishvara is the bhokta here, it can also be considered jiva.

If this is to be internalised then jivatvam has to be given up.

Jivatvam is the attachment of self to body mind, and taking on the roles as oneself.

Instead being pure satchitananda atman, there is no need to perform action.

But when action directive comes from ishvara, who is none other than self, then there is ishvara motivated action.

That action alone is real action, which has its reality as non actor.
