... liberation, mokṣa , but rather to show the compatibility of works with the soul's effort towards liberation and of spiritual freedom itself when once attained with continued action in the world, muktasya karma . Incidentally, a synthetic Yoga or psychological method of arriving at spiritual liberation and perfection has been developed and certain metaphysical affirmations have been put forward, certain... way of renunciation of works." But on the contrary it has said that not the cessation of works, but renunciation of desire is the better way; it has spoken of the action of the liberated man, muktasya karma . It has even insisted on doing all actions, sarvāṇi karmāṇi, kṛtsna-karma-kṛt ; it has said that in whatever way the perfected Yogin lives and acts, he lives and acts in God. This can only be ...
... the essential nature, svabhāva-niyataṁ karma , or, finally and best of all, regulated by the will of the Divine within and above us. The last is the true and only action of the liberated man, muktasya karma . To renounce these works is not a right movement—the Gita lays that down plainly and trenchantly in the end, niyatasya tu sannyāsaḥ karmaṇo nopapadyate . To renounce them from an ignorant confidence ...
... will lead the doer of the works to perfection in the “light and splendour of a divine and infinite nature.” After giving up works altogether, whatever he shall be doing in this state will be the muktasya karma , the action that will not bind him to anything.

... with the akshara Purusha, the immobile Self, and has renounced his actions into Him, the Purushottama, and he works out His will. Such are the works of the divine worker, of the liberated soul, muktasya karma, and the more the action of the supreme is transmitted through the divine worker, the higher and higher are the operations in him of Para Prakriti.

Such only are the works of the liberated soul, muktasya karma , !4.23! for in nothing does he act from a personal inception; such are the actions of the accomplished Karmayogin.

... in his egoistic mind but in this greatest self-knowledge, to the divine action. The Vibhuti is ready for the divine life in the human, his conscious spirit for the works of the liberated soul, muktasya karma .

... mystery of existence, not dispersed by his multiplicity, not limited by his oneness,—this is the integral knowledge, this is the reconciling experience which makes one capable of liberated action, muktasya karma . This knowledge comes, says the Gita, by a highest bhakti. It is attained when the mind exceeds itself by a supramental and high spiritual seeing of things and when the heart too rises in ...
