The doer (Skt. कर्ता, Karta) is one who performs actions.

On the path of knowledge, the concept of a doer is:

• Part of the illusion

• There is no individual doer - actions happen but no one does them

• The experiencer is not a doer but a witness

• The sense of being a doer dissolves upon self realisation
