The state of non-action, or Naishkarmya, as mentioned in Chapter 35, is a spiritual state where one's actions no longer create karmic bonds. According to the text, this is achieved when a devotee's organs of action are completely dedicated to serving Sai Baba. This state is the culmination of a process where all sensory experiences are saturated with Sai's presence. When the triad of perception (e.g., seer, seen, seeing) vanishes for all senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—the devotee experiences a state of non-duality. Following this, when all actions are performed as service to Sai, the actions themselves dissolve, leading to Naishkarmya. It is a state of being where one acts without attachment to the results, effectively achieving freedom from the cycle of action and consequence.
