Sanskrit Verse
Na kartritvam na karmani lokasya srijati prabhuh, na karma-phala-samyogam svabhavas tu pravartate
Translation & Meaning
The Lord does not create the agency or actions of people, nor the union of action with its fruits; it is nature that moves and acts. God is not the author of bondage — the individual creates bondage through identification with nature's movements.
Key Teachings
- •God is not the author of human bondage or compulsion
- •Nature (svabhava/prakriti) is the operative force behind action
