akarta | अकर्ता
akarta (Devanagari: अकर्ता ISO15919: akartā ) means the non-doer.
Every jiva is akarta but it has been given an eternal servant called mind. Jiva wants limitless, everlasting, ever-increasing ananda . So, mind keeps striving to find ananda . Since, mind is material it performs tamasik , rajasik , sattvik karma and keeps getting entangled in karmic bondage.
If mind were to surrender to Guru , follow his instructions and attain the ananda that jiva wants then there would be no more reason to perform any karma . From that point onwards mind will also become akarta .
God does not have unfulfilled desires of His own. So, He is akarta .
God realized saints are also akarta because they have attained their aim of life. So, they don't have any reason to toil.
