In response to a question about how to know if an action is 'Nishkam Karma' (action without desire for results), as taught by Shri Krishna, Acharya Prashant advises against examining the action itself. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of examining oneself. He explains that if the doer is right, their actions will naturally be right, and there will be no need for scrutiny. This, he says, is the joy of being self-realized (Atma-gyani). A self-realized person does not need to constantly check their words or deeds, as their actions stem from a place of rightness. To illustrate his point, Acharya Prashant shares a story from the Upanishads. A disciple persistently asks his Guru to teach him the Upanishad, to which the Guru replies, "The Upanishad has been told to you." This means that whatever the Guru says is the Upanishad, not some special, separate teaching. He further explains that if a listener perceives some parts of the teaching as lofty and others as ordinary, it reflects the listener's own ignorance and limitations. The solution is to become right within oneself. Once a person is internally right, all their actions will naturally be desireless, and they won't even be conscious of it. If someone else points out that their actions are desireless, their response would be, "Is that so? I didn't think about it." The true joy lies in being free from the burden of constant thinking and checking. Acharya Prashant adds a crucial caveat: this state of not needing to check one's actions applies only to the self-realized. For everyone else, it is essential to constantly examine their actions. This continuous self-examination is the very process that eventually leads to a state where such scrutiny is no longer necessary. He concludes by saying that one must become right, and then whatever they do will be desireless action.
