ENGLISH  TRANSLATIONS:

1. TRUTH  REVEALED / GRANT DUFF

If we are the doers of actions, we would also be enjoyers of the fruits thereof. On knowing the Self, through enquiry, as to who the doer is, doership is lost, and the triple Karma falls off. This alone is the state of Eternal Liberation.

2.    THE FORTY ON EXISTENCE / SADHU ARUNACHALA (MAJOR A.W.CHADWICK)

If we were doers of these acts of ours Then should we have enjoyment of our fruits. But by enquiring ‘Who is it that does?’ And thereby realizing the true Self, The sense of doer with three karmas goes. Eternal Liberation is that State.

3. REVELATION / K. LAKSHMANA SARMA

If the Self were ever himself the doer (of actions), then He himself would reap their consequences. But when the sense of doership drops away on the realisation of the infinite Self as a result of the Quest ‘Who am I that is a doer (of actions)’, with it (namely the sense of doership) will drop away all the the three kinds of actions; (the wise) know this State to be eternal Deliverance.

SYNOPSIS  /  Grant Duff

If one considers oneself as karta ( the doer), one has to reap also the fruits of three-fold karma. When the ego is destroyed through Self-enquiry, there is neither the karta nor the three-fold karma. The ever present State of Liberation alone remains.
