How to be only NIMITMATREN, a doer without the desire of fruit and burden of consequences of karma?

Paramatma says that

अतः परं यदात्मस्वरुपं जलसूर्यकादिवद्भोक्तृत्वकर्तृत्वेनेहानुप्रविष्चम् -

The Soul is like Sun and our boy is like water in which it reflects and the real doer is above the body and the sufferer is the body. Everything is predestined by our previous birth's karma. The soul is the only witness and we entertain different bodies through our senses

एष हि द्रष्टा स्प्रष्टा श्रोता ध्राता रसयिता मन्ता बोद्धा कर्ता विज्ञानात्मा पुरुषः।

स परेङक्षर आत्मनि संप्रतिष्ठिते ।। (प्रश्र्नोपनिषद-4-9)

A body that sees feels, touches, listens to, and smells things, tastes various variety and entertain its senses is known as VIGYAN SWAROOP PURUSH in which the real doer Paramatma is established A person who knows that he is the only a reflection of Paramatma becomes free from the burden of his karma and its consequences.

મન તું શીદને ચિંતા કરે , હરિને કરવું હોય તે કરે

A devotee tells his mind not to worry about anything as he has surrender his pride and ego, his pain and gain, his success and failure in the hands of Paramatma. He has control over his senses and the moment he puts the reign of his mind in the hands of Paramatma, he becomes free from the bondage of his karma.

Goswami Tulsidasji says that a person who does all the work on the name of Paramatma as

बिगरी जनम अनेक की सुधरे अबहीं आजु ।

होहि राम को नाम जपु तुलसी तजि कुसमाजु।। (दोहावली -२२)

When a devotee concentrates his mind and Chitta in the Swaroop of Paramatma, he does every work of the routine with the Nam –jap of Paramatma, he is playing his role on the stage of Sansar as he is allotted dialogue and action according to his director's instruction. AATMAKI AAWAZ आत्मा की आवाज.When he acts as a king or as a businessman, as a son or as a husband in his life span inwardly he knows that he has to play his role only in the best possible manner. All these characters- role whichever he is playing are not his own Swaroop as every role ends with time but his relation with Paramatma Stays forever, the rest are only temporary, As I am the part of Brahm is BRAHMGYAN and whoever acquires that knowledge becomes free from doubts. Mundakopanishad says

भिद्यते ह्दयग्रन्थिश्छिद्यन्ते सर्व संशयाः।

क्षीयन्ते चास्य कर्माणि तस्मिन्दष्टि परावरे ।।(मुंडकोपनिषद-२-२-८)

When a person acquires knowledge of PARA and APARA Prakruti of Paramatma all his doubts are cleared and all his karma are destroyed, Para here Stands for Paramatma and Apara stands for Jivatma When the knowledge of unification of Jivatma -Shiv is confirmed, A devotee becomes free from all Vikars as Pride and ego, attachment- detachment and envy and jealousy, feelings of possession and desires to accumulate name and fame, wealth and ownership. When he realizes अहम ब्रह्मास्मि ।No negativity can envelop him.

Our Pride and ego are the causes of the bondage of Sansar . Pride emerges from the sense of duality . The no non-living thing can touch living Chaitanya on his own but our perishable body, though it is a non –living thing before the soul enters into it and after the soul abandons it. The period during the stay of soul in our JAD non-living, perishable body makes us feel that I am a body, and I am powerful strong and I can do this and that.No non –living thing can act or do anything in that sense. Our body too cannot do anything but in the presence of Paramatma within every Jivatma, all the livings through their senses can think, feel, touch, see, listen and act and when think that he is doing all karma on his own.

All karmas are divided into three kinds.They are SANCHIT KARMA संचित कर्म , FUTURE KARMAआगामी कर्म and PRARABDHA KARMA प्रारब्ध कर्म .All the karma of past births gives fruits according to their time of ripening in the next birth. They are Sanchit Karma. Whatever we are doing in this present birth is going to give fruits again in our next birth. They are Prarabhdha Karma as well because our mind, Buddhi, Chitta, and pride goes with us birth after birth and whatever we have sown in the land of our karma Bhoomi become the seeds that would grow as fruits of which kind of seeds we have sawn. If we have sown mango seeds, we would get lots of Mango as fruits of our karma but if we have awn cactus, we surely have to get thrones.

According to Vedas, our Sanchit karma can be destroyed by the knowledge of Brahma PRAKARMPRAVILAPYATAM CHITIJLAT प्राक्कर्म प्रविलाप्यतां चितिबलात् and we can be free from the fruits in future with the knowledge of BRAHMASMI Our unification with Paramatma Brahm so that we would never sow bad seeds by wrong karma. CHITIBALAT NA API UTTARAI_ SHLISHYATAM चितिबलात् न अपि उत्तरैः श्र्लिष्यताम् । It means that a Saint and a wise knowledgeable person never accumulate bucket of karma that creates bondage for him in the future birth or becomes the reason of next birth because he knows that if he has to take birth after birth, he has to suffer PRABDHAM EHA BHUJYATAM प्रारब्धं तु इह भुज्यताम् ...

Chhandogya Upanishad says that a knowledgeable person has to wait only for the moment of enlightenment of complete knowledge. The moment he acquires knowledge of Brahma, he becomes free from Sansar and his soul is absorbed in the eternal truth i.e. Paramatma तस्य तावदेव टिरं यावन्न विमोक्ष्येङथ सम्पत्स्ये ।

Paramatma inspires Prakruti through Satva, Rajas, and Tams virtues to do karma by entering in the mind of Jivatma but when Jivatma thinks that KARTAHAMITI कर्तामहमिति I am the doer, he is considered as an instrumental fall of pride and ego. AHANJARVIMUTHATMA अहंकारविमूढात्मा, while a knowledgeable person can be free from all the bondage of karma through his, awaken consciousness because he knows that

सर्वकर्मणि मनसा संन्स्यास्ते सुख वशी ।

नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन् ।। (५-१३)

I am not the doer of any karma. I am on the travel and if I remain attached with any co-traveler or the things we carry during traveling or with the places and beauty of Prakruti in any form and attached to them thinking as it is mine, I am an ignorant person.No relatives and places or beauty is made to entertain my senses. My ultimate home is under the holy Shrine of Paramatma only from where I come. When I have to abandon this body if I am attached to all these things, persons, property, and places, I have to carry the burden of my good and bad karma because even my good karma create bondage for me and I have to roam in the cycle of birth after birth in different bodies. Hence Shri Krishna says Arjun that you are wise; there is no difference of time, person, and place for any soul all are my manifestations and at the end of every SARG everything and everybody is going to be absorbed by ME. Hence, don't even think as Jivatma and Paramatma everything as your own because you are only NIMITTMATREN निमित्तमात्रेण and your trio-body, Sthula, Sukshma, and Karan Sharir as your own because you are only Shadow of My Swaroop.

Hence, accept your birth and death as a part of eternal NETI NETI नेति नेति and be from the bondage of various birth with the knowledge of AHAM BRAHMASMI अहम ब्रह्मास्मि.

Then how to be free from attachment as Karta?

Let us surrender to Shri Krishna to quench our thirst...
