Tattva of action (from Upanishads)
A spiritual discourse on understanding right action and true renunciation.
"If you can protect your dharma, your dharma can protect you. If you cannot protect your dharma, your dharma cannot protect you."
"Renounce the pride of thinking, 'I am the doer.'... Your deeds should be free from the pride of your deeds and from rāga and dveṣa."
The speaker, likely a teacher or swami, explains the essence of karma and renunciation by analyzing common errors on the spiritual path. He emphasizes that true renunciation is an internal state of non-attachment to the ego, the fruits of action, and the dualities of rāga (attachment) and dveṣa (aversion), rather than the mere external abandonment of duty. Correct action, performed according to one's dharma, time, place, and scriptural guidance, purifies the mind and leads to a pleasant life journey.
