Destruction of PK, SK, and AK TB-71 & 72
We need to dwell a little bit longer on the karmas of a wise man.. as well as the karmas of the unwise..!

Once ramaNa maharishi was found to be cuttign vegetables at 4 AM to get the cooking going for the day..

A resident disciple who happened to go to the kitchen area saw ramaNa and was amused or confused.. either way it is okay..

ram
aNa was one sage who drove the students into the direction of Self Inquiry.. WHO AM I? and he helped everybody focus of Atma gnyAnam.. he taught them sarvam bramha mayam..!

This student asked ramaNa.. "If everything is bramhan, why are you cutting vegetables at 4 AM?"

ramana did not ridicule him or got angry with him.. he replied..

"The fact that I AM CUTTING THE VEGETABLE is visible ONLY to others.."

He did not call himself a wise man, but indicated that a wiseman has no kartRtvam..

So he would still cut vegetables as the act of cutting is owned up by an agnyAni.. whereas "as if" owned by a gnyAni.

That is the kartRtva abhAvam mentioned earlier.

A wiseman knows that he thought he was a kartA due to avidyA or self ignorance.. this self ignorance caused him various desires and dislikes .. these desires and dislikes made him perform various karmas to gain pleasure and avaoid pain.. Soem were dharmic and some were adharmic.. some were done with full awareness that it was adharmic also.. some without such awareness.. each resulted in different degrees of puNyam and pApam.. this baggage made him exhaust all of the karma phalams only partially.. so SK bag started bloating up.. janma after janma.. NOW WITH THE SELF IGNORANCE GONE, HE IS NOT THE OLD AGNAYANI BUT REGAINED HIS GNYANA NISHTA.. his gnyAnam is steady and unshakeable now.

Yet he performs karma like everyone else and such karmas are MISTAKEN by others and they conclude that a gnyAni is NO DIFFERRENT THAN ANY OTHER PERSON.!

Upon the rise of self knowledge, SK ties are gone, and AK does not touch him any more.. PK is spinning like a top.. When it lose its momentum his body falls
