“Every action, even thoughts have some effect at some level.
Actions create fruits and leave seeds which eventually come
back to the performer of the action, either directly or indirectly.
These actions can be black, white, mixed, or have no colour.
The black actions can potentially have a negative comeback;
whereas white actions can potentially have a positive comeback.
But most actions are mixed, with a vague or indistinct outcome,
or they will have a distinct outcome, but it is difficult to discern.
Those actions that are seen as having no colour are the result
of actions from the highest dispassion, free of self–motivation.
Because these actions from a Yogin are free of self–motivation,
they are free of self–interest, either black, white or mixed.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Four verse 7
