Acharya Prashant clarifies the meaning of 'gahana karmano gatih' by explaining the distinctions between karma, akarma, and vikarma as discussed in the Bhagavad Gita. Karma involves an agency making a conscious choice, whereas akarma refers to actions where no doership or choice is involved, such as involuntary biological processes or conditioned behaviors. Within the realm of karma, he identifies three categories: nishkam karma, which is direct action for liberation; sakam karma, which is the indirect pursuit of liberation through personal desires; and vikarma, which is a state of deep dishonesty where one falsely claims to be already liberated while remaining in bondage.
