thx, wrt the statement: I think that's because they don't "do anything", or else, > they "do nothing": ... we have to be careful here to first define "they". If "they" = the Self, then It is unencumbered regardless of whether the entity is a rock or an E'd person or a non-E'd person since Purusha as "they" (the true Self) is not a cause. ... otoh, if "they" refers to the conventional person (the body/mind), then indeed such entities are doers; again, in the conventional sense. ... But all discussions regarding doership with the referent as "they' = Self, amount to useless Neo-Advaitic tautologies conveying no useful information except the level of ignorance of those falling into such traps.
