Ashtavakra Gita Verse 13.5
अर्थानर्थौ न मे स्थित्या गत्या वा शयनेन वा। तिष्ठन् गच्छन् स्वपन् तस्मादहमासे यथासुखम्॥५॥
5. No good or evil can be associated with my staying, going or sleeping. So whether I stay or go or sleep, I live in true happiness.
No action by itself is either good or bad. The intention behind the action determines its quality with reference to the doer.
To an egoless one, therefore, actions are motivated neither by good nor evil. They are spontaneous expressions of the divine will cascading through such perfect Masters.
Sitting or going or sleeping, in short, under all conditions of stability, movement and rest of the body, such an egoless Master is ever in perfect attunement with the blissful Self, and Janaka, the Man of Realisation confesses here, ‘I live in true happiness’.
