What does Chapter 35 say about attaining the state of non-action, or 'Naishkarmya'?

📖 Chapter 35

According to Chapter 35, the state of non-action, or Naishkarmya, is attained when a devotee's entire being is dedicated to the service of Sai. The text posits that this state applies to the organs of action in the same way it applies to the senses. When a devotee perceives Sai in all sensory inputs—sight, sound, taste, and touch—the triad of subject, object, and action dissolves. Similarly, when all the organs of action are used in the service of Sai, "All actions dissolve." This implies that when actions are performed not for personal gain or ego but as a devotional offering, they cease to create karmic bondage, leading to the liberated state of Naishkarmya.
