In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 4th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 19 - 23. Sri Krishna makes a beautiful comment about the non-doership of a person and how their intellect is always turned towards Brahman. Once this is done, all consequences or reactions to their actions are burned away by the knowledge of the Atman. The real karma yogi appears to be acting but because they are completely satisfied, they in fact do nothing because they don't care about the reactions to their actions. The goal is to see ourselves as the formless awareness and then we have no karmic reactions created, we act without feeling anxious as we are transparent in knowing this reality of life. We have no desires and don't grab for any results. The Sage is always balanced in their own inherent peace. They see the Atman in one and all, therefore, they can easily be free from the outcome of any action. Understanding the oneness of All, by performing every action as a sacred offering to the Divine, they know what they are - this Formless Awareness.
