Na lete prabhu hain kisee ka kabhi,
Karma papmaya ho ya shubh karma hee.
Magar dakh gaya gyan agyan se,
Jisse sabhi jeev mohit hue.
📜 Translation

The All-pervading Supreme does not accept either the sinful or the virtuous deeds of anyone; as knowledge is veiled by ignorance, the creatures are bewildered.
The embodied being is a part of the Lord but so far as actions are concerned, the Supreme is in this connection an impartial, indifferent and uninvolved power. Whether anyone recites the Gita in sunlight or reads obscene, indecent and violent literature, the sun is indifferent to it; neither the sun has any role in causing such actions nor has it to do anything with its result. The Divine consciousness is like a light. Abidance in the divine spirit can be a factor conducive to performing noble deeds and turning away from the divine spirit may become a cause for getting involved in inauspicious and evil deeds, but even here the Supreme has nothing to do with it. He does not accept any auspicious or inauspicious acts. As the being acts, he will bear the fruits of such actions. Ignorance has veiled knowledge. The basic nature of a human being is that o knowledge. But the veils of attachment to sensual objects and outgoing tendencies envelope knowledge. Ignorance overwhelms, the being and due to this ignorance he is not able to keep in mind the difference between sin and virtue nor their result; under the influence of ignorance he remains entangled in unreal and inauspicious. The question arises that whether ignorances has grown so large as to cover knowledge. No, knowledge is greater. Ignorance is capable of fully enveloping knowledge it is not so. Just that in the vision of the being the cover of ignorance comes, because of not understanding the reality of knowledge, he moves around deluded.
Does it have any solution? It is definitely there. Read, understand and give though to this inspiration from the Gita.
