Liberation is...

Liberation is being completely at peace in knowing that nothing that you do is either necessary or will make a whit of a difference and yet not being upset at being impelled by Shakti beyond the ego to be seemingly performing activities for complete purification of the mind.

All actions are superfluous and yet ...

All actions are superfluous and yet they must be undertaken to purify the mind by one who has not yet given up every samkalpa, and who is yet bound by sense objects or karmas (thoughts).

Only a yogArUDha is free from karma. So perform action but surrender the fruits of action to the Lord. This is actor-less action or action-less action. This non-binding action is not productive of the ignorance of bondage. Thus these vAsanAs are termed bhoga hetuh and not bandha hetuh.

Just as action requires no doer, so too thought requires no thinker!

Just as action requires no doer, so too thought requires no thinker. Thought arises naturally as the svabhAva of Brahman through Shakti. As long as the 'I ' thought does not creep in, there is Bliss (cf story of Dama, Vyala and Kata in the Yoga VasiShTha). There the implication seems to be that repeated thought or performance of action without constant control leads to the 'I' thought. Without the notion of I there is no problem of praise or censure, and no expectation either. So it is liberating. There is simply 'natural ' action playing out prArabdha. The potter's wheel spinning before it comes to rest after all pots have been made. But ashubha vAsanAs should be eliminated by practice and shubha VAsanA allowed but they too die of their own accord in time. Sattva purified dies of itself.
