The realized soul, in short, is necessarily as active as God is.  

So, it will be altogether wrong to consider him as a mere passive spectator. To understand this is to understand one of the most important, but at the same time, one of the most neglected verses of the Bhagavadgita, namely, “one who sees actionlessness in action and action in actionlessness is a wise person; he is united (with God) and he can be said to have done all actions (4.18).” The inactivity of a Brahmajñānin cannot certainly be the inactivity of a slothful man. Nor is it the inactivity which is perforce imposed upon the senses and the mind by one who is a yogin in the ordinary sense of the word, that is, by one who is an expert in Prānāyāma and other yogic feats. It is the inactivity which is due to absorption in meditation on the Name of God or in contemplation on the vision of God, and due to which the limbs of the body refuse to move; nay, even the eyelids refuse to close. Thus, at the back of the superficial inactivity, there is the activity of absorption in God. Similarly, at the back of his activity in his social life is involved the conscious force of the Atman who is, according to Śri Ramanujācārya, the ‘Akarma’ or the Atmajñāna itself. As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as inactivity with reference to the full-fledged Atmajñānin, as it is not with reference to God. His being ever conscious of God is the kind of unique activity he displays even through his three states of wakefulness, sleep and dream. We may say that he is both supra-active and supra-wakeful; a karma-yogin who, besides being active in the ordinary sense of the word, is at once a jñāni, that is, the realizer of the peace and bliss of Brahman and a bhakta. To him, there is no contradiction between karma and a-karma; for, as we have just seen, both involve each other. That is why, as the Gita says (15.10), “Let him move or transmigrate from one body to another or be steady; let him be engaged in eating or in other activities according to his gunas; being endowed with the (divine) eyes of Jñana, he sees the Lord always. ”
