““You are not the 'doer' of this, there is a mistake in your belief. For the work that is not Yours, you claim, "I did it." Moreover, You are not even aware of what Your work is. Therefore, how much of Your work would be accomplished? No work has been accomplished. You had come without awakened awareness (jagruti); you were born in this world, and that too without awakened awareness, and you left without awakened awareness too. You ended up binding so much demerit karma without doing anything?””
