From the book The Garland of Guru's Sayings
79. The Attainment of Actionlessness
476. Whether or not one is performing actions, if the delusion of individuality -- the ego, ''I am the doer of actions'' -- is completely annihilated, that is the attainment of actionlessness.
Sadhu Om's note: People generally think that the attainment of actionlessness is a state in which one should remain still, giving up all activities. But this is wrong. Sri Bhagavan Ramana proclaims that the loss of doership alone is the right kind of actionlessness, and this alone is nishkamya karma -- action done without any desire for result.
