Whatever activities are undertaken, if one does them while remembering God, one is not the doer (i.e. one is not bound by them); but otherwise, even if one is merely seated, still one is the doer (i.e. is bound by the consequences of one’s thoughts). While remembering God when one eats, speaks, sees, sleeps, walks and does other such activities, still one is not doing anything – one is not the doer.
