Question: Dear Sir,
There is one question on the ‘action’ that has been playing on my mind since you sent me the mail about the desireless action.
You said when there is no self, there is purity in being and hence the desireless action takes place. By this do you mean actions harmonious to the universe, to the Truth?
Answer: There is no basis of ‘Action’. If there is a basis, it is an ‘Activity’.
What is a Basis? If it has a base, it has an origination. Also, if it has a base, it gives rise to something and all originations are dependent. There is nothing that originates and is yet independent. All dependent, or interdependent originations are suffering.
Action is born out of ‘nothingness’. That is, if you insist that it MUST be born out of something.
Baseless action is action. Meaningless action is action. Directionless action is action. Purposeless action is action. Horrible, isn’t it? See how the ego recoils.
