Doership

 My Comment: The sense of doership is the ego, which is the root cause of suffering.

AI Baba: 

Doership is the spiritual and philosophical concept—often discussed in Advaita Vedanta and Karma Yoga—referring to the belief that the individual ego is the sole author, owner, and responsible agent of actions. It represents a deep identification with the mind-body complex, leading to attachment to results, pride, and the burden of karma. 

Key aspects of doership include:

The Burden of Ego: Viewing oneself as the "doer" (kartā) leads to mental stress, anxiety, and a feeling of responsibility for outcomes.

Spirituality & Liberation: Many spiritual traditions aim to transcend this sense of doership to achieve inner peace, realizing that actions happen, but one is not the personal cause.

Non-Doership: This involves performing actions without the egoic pride of ownership—"doing without being the doer"—often facilitated by surrendering results to a higher power or understanding the nature of reality as a, non-dual whole.

KarmaYoga & Action: The Bhagavad Gita suggests acting without expectation of rewards (desireless action) to free oneself from the bondage of actions. 

Giving up doership is not necessarily about abandoning activity, but rather about shifting one's internal stance from "I am doing this" to "actions are happening through me," according to Yogi Anoop.
