Acharya Prashant explains that scriptural action refers to performing one's duty by ignoring the desires of the doer. He distinguishes between desire and righteousness, stating that desire offers immediate, superficial pleasure, while righteousness offers the challenge of timeless bliss. Scriptural action is that which is performed for the sake of this higher joy, which often necessitates the sacrifice of personal desires. He identifies Shri Krishna as another name for this supreme joy and explains that dedicating all actions to Him means acting for the sake of that higher bliss, where the inner self remains joyful even if the body suffers.
