Music Bell ring Right now you're talking to me.

Isn't that an action?

Yes.

Isn't the knower still there?

The knower knows Varaneer speaking.

You could be speaking to an office colleague right now.

Okay.

You could be speaking to your boss right now about something very important.

You are acting in the world but the knower is always there.

The basis of that action even now is still a bit centered around the I and ego.

So all I need to do is deflate the I and be knowingly the knowingness.

That's all.

Nothing else you have to do.

There is no major practice in Advaita.

Oh my god I have to do this.

I'm going to take 20 years,

30 years,

40 years.

You will say no 40 years ago also that already told me that I am the knower.

What did I do for 40 years?

Don't waste your 40 years Advaita says.

Advaita says you're already there.

Now you have to just give way to this ego's dramas.

Not to the actions that you have to do.

You have to do.

If you're married,

You have a family,

You have to take care of them.

You have a job.

You must do what you have to do.

Advaita does not say you have to not do action.

Advaita says you must do it.

In fact you take this knowingness out into the world while speaking,

While doing actions while in every activity of the world.

See that there is no difference between knowing and seeing that activity.

Knowing and hearing.

Knowing and touching.

Yes whatever that work is,

Everything is knowingness itself.

It is not different.
