Acharya Prashant explains that with open eyes, it becomes clear that the doer is a lie. He questions who it is that claims to do anything. For instance, when you extend your hand to pick up a cup of tea, did you really have a choice? Once your body has been formed in the way that it is, where can you claim that 'I eat, I drink'? You were not the doer in the creation of your body, so how can you be the doer of your body's hunger? The entire structure and configuration of the body are not your doing. Therefore, you cannot be the doer of whatever the body demands or its tendencies. As soon as you open your eyes and the scope of your vision expands, it becomes clear that whatever is happening is due to the coming together of countless forces. Where does the 'I' stand in this? Nowhere. When you are young, you see a woman and claim, 'I have fallen in love.' But you are not the doer of your being a man, nor of your birth, nor of the chemical activities in your body, nor of the circumstances in which another person appears before you. So how can you be the doer of this love? All these things must be present for love to happen; if even one were missing, you could not have fallen in love. The image of the person you like is already in your mind, which comes from external influences. So how can your love be your own? And if children are born from this love, how can you be their doer? When everything in life is circumstantial, then the sense of doership is the biggest lie. Whatever is happening is being done by the 'Total' (the whole). The claim of the doer is that 'I,' a fragment, am doing it. The one who is doing is the Whole, and the claim of the doer is that 'I,' a fragment, am doing it. The one who is actually doing has no interest in claiming doership, and the one who is not doing anything has the illusion that 'I did it.' This illusion arises because one's vision is small and cannot see the whole picture. The real doer is the Whole, but it has no interest in claiming doership. The one who is not doing anything (the ego) keeps having the illusion that 'I did it.' This illusion arises because one's vision is small and cannot see the whole picture. Acharya Prashant states that the sense of doership is not a method to pacify the mind; the sense of doership is a delusion. There is no truth in it, no fact. Freedom from the sense of doership is not just a means to drop the ego; the sense of doership is itself a lie. There is no need to do anything to be free from the sense of doership because that which does not exist, what needs to be done to remove it? You have created the doer by believing in it. Stop believing, and the doer will not remain anywhere.
