Actions may be referred to by the different organs of the body in
which the soul abides.  We should interpret the text in the light of
action, the idea of which is described in different ways; but the
fruit of action always belongs to the soul.

Action implies improvement as well as change, but not the creation of
a substance; and this is stated in the Vedas.

As action implies change, the form of words in the text has to be
changed in order to get their real meaning; but this change should be
made only when we are unable to get a suitable meaning otherwise.
There is an element of Time in action, and it too implies change; but
its idea is dealt with elsewhere.  Further, we should not divide into
parts words which are not in close proximity to one another.
