[Advaita-l] A query on Jnani's punya and papa distribution

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

Take Adi Sankara. He was Jnani no doubt. He did many Punya Karmas for Loka
Kalyana.  All that Phala is going to his followers. But what Papa Karmas
did he do? Nothing. Who is taking Papa Karma Phala? Some may think Parakaya
Pravesha and enjoying pleasures in King's body may be Papa Karma. But his
Atma was there in the body as a witness only. The actions of the body will
not touch the Atma.
