karma is from karman , one then derives kṛta.
- karma = karman = act , action , performance . It comes from the root kṛ defined as to do , make , perform , accomplish , cause.
- So what then is this kṛta ? It is what is accomplished, obtained , gained , acquired. Note both include kṛ .
viraja writes.
any action performed without the involvement of the ego quotient will not bear any adverse fruits. This includes actions that harm others, but done without the doer's knowing involvement in it
To the one outside of the ego and ~ completely realized~ , they operate within the field of natural law ( dharma). What occurs is the best for all ( including the universe).
Now back to this silly ball bouncing. When the ball bounces who can take owner ship ? the owner of the ball ? This ball cannot bounce without the manufacturing of the ball - so all who touched the ball in its making is involved. And what of the material ? From where did it come ? All those that manufactured the rubber. And what of the raw materrials? It comes from the environment. And Where did this environment come from ? The cosmos and all the actions that occurred to finally bring about an earth that could produce the ball, the person, the intent to bounce the ball and the person in the apartment below who gets agitated ( Which in fact is energy also that comes from all the food-stuffs created once again by the universe).
So, who is the doer here ? Who takes full responsibility for the action ? How can it be seen as good or bad ? We (society) assign good and bad. That is why it is so practical to pursue realization. To exist the small-small thinking of good and bad assigned by society and do as the universe does without any thought that is required - then all the actions are in accord with all the laws of natural law.
