Nimitta Mātra (Sanskrit: निमित्तमात्र) in English means:
“A mere instrument”
or
“Only a means / an agent”
Explanation
- Nimitta = cause, instrument, means
- Mātra = only, merely
So Nimitta Mātra conveys the idea that a person is not the ultimate doer, but only a channel through which a higher will operates.
Philosophical context
The phrase comes famously from the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna tells Arjuna:
“Become merely an instrument.”
Simple meaning
“You act, but the ultimate power behind the action is not you.”
If you want, I can also explain how this idea is used in leadership, spirituality, or daily life.
