- **Commentary:**
=== कर्ता-क्रिया-विधान / S-V-O Tuples ===
  This sloka emphasizes a fundamental principle in Vedantic philosophy concerning the role and purpose of actions (karma) in the spiritual journey. According to Advaita Vedanta, as presented in texts like Vivekachudamani or attributed to figures such as Adi Shankaracharya, the primary goal of performing actions is to purify the mind (chitta-shuddhi). A mind purified through righteous actions is better equipped for self-inquiry and contemplation (vicāra), which are crucial processes for attaining self-realization or understanding the true nature of reality (vastu).

  The sloka asserts that merely performing countless actions, regardless of their scale or intention, cannot directly lead to the ultimate realization or consciousness of one’s true self (Atman) or the absolute reality (Brahman). This insight underscores a critical distinction: while actions help in creating a conducive internal environment, true knowledge and liberation come from insight and understanding gained through deep inquiry and meditation.

* [[vastu-upalabdhi|vastu-upalabdhi (वस्तूपलब्धि)]]
* [[vichāra|vichāra (विचार)]]


  The sloka advises spiritual seekers to not become entangled in the performative aspect of spiritual practices without understanding their ultimate aim. It is a call to engage deeply with philosophy, inquiry, and experiential understanding, moving beyond ritualistic actions alone.
=== Categories (वर्गीकरण) ===

* Philosophy
* Discernment
 
=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This verse emphasizes the importance of action for mental purification, rather than the direct attainment of truth or reality. It highlights that the true realization of reality (''vastu-siddhi'') is achieved through discernment and careful consideration (''vicāra''). Merely performing countless actions (''karma-koṭibhiḥ'') without discernment does not lead one to the ultimate truth. This points to the limitation of ritualistic practices devoid of philosophical inquiry, underscoring the Vedantic principle that knowledge and wisdom are paramount in realizing ultimate reality.
