Let me offer one idea for the HDF reader's consideration.
This whole notion of doing is a very big deal. We are talking of kāraka कारक - the doer, making , doing ,
acting , who or what does or produces or creates. Some call this kartā - the agent.
When we talk of this it is very intricate and subtle. To those that are deeply steeped in ignorance
( moha¹) this concept or idea can be mis-taken and bent to meet one's mischief.
The ignorant may think, Oh I am not the doer, then let me do this... let me take anothers wealth, wife, home.
Since I have not done this there is no harm. I am not the doer.
What then of this effect (kārya¹) ? What good came from this knowledge to those that may pick and choose
the various qualities of truth.
For this we need to be mindful on how we explain this wisdom and to whom.
praṇām
words
- moha - darkness or delusion of mind (preventing the discernment of truth and leading men to
believe in the reality of worldly objects) - kārya - motive , object , aim , purpose Hence kiṃ kāryam , for what purpose was this action done ?
Namaste Yajvanji,
Can you elaborate on your view in simple language as to "Who is the doer?" you believe.
