When one performs his duties from his egocentre, it becomes work and in work there can be good and evil, morality and immorality. When a man performs in the outer world with a bosom that has no ego to vitiate, he does not ‘work’ but he merely ‘acts’. In a spontaneous inspired act there is no ego and as such divine acts cannot create any vāsanās, positive or negative, in the personality of the sage; such actions are to be considered as inactions or to distinguish it clearly, we may call them as ‘actionless actions’.
