“Naișkarmya Siddhi” by Suresvara, with an introduction and translation by Guy Maximilien, was published in 1975 by the Institut de civilisation indienne in Paris. This text is a core treatise of Advaita Vedanta, focusing on the concept of naishkarmya (non-action), which is the state of actionlessness that transcends ritualistic and worldly actions through the realization of the Self. The book includes both a detailed introduction and translation, presenting the work as a philosophical exploration of non-duality and the nature of ultimate reality.

Suresvara, a direct disciple of Adi Shankara, uses this text to explain how liberation (moksha) is achieved not through actions, but through self-knowledge. This edition offers insights into the nuances of Advaita philosophy for both scholars and students of Indian thought.
