Atma-Siddhi
151
If God is the giver of fruits (of karmas), then soul can be taken to be the enjoyer. However if God is accepted as the fruit-giver, then Godhood cannot be associated with Him (see Verse 77).
81 ईश्वर सिद्ध थया विना, जगनियम नहीं होय। पछी शुभाशुभ कर्मनां, भोग्यस्थान नहीं कोय।।८१।। असिद्धे ईश्वरे नैव युज्यते जगतः स्थितिः।। शुभाऽशुभविपाकानां ततः स्थानं न विद्यते ।।८।।
Without proving God's existence, world's condition becomes questionable. Then there seems to be no place for considering fruits of good and bad actions.
82 भावकर्म निजकल्पना, माटे चेतनरूप। जीववीर्यनी स्फुरणा, ग्रहण करे जड़धूप ।।८२॥ .. भावकर्म निजा क्लप्तिरतश्चेतनरूपता। जीववीर्यस्य स्फूर्तेस्तु लाति कर्मचयं जडम् ।।८२।।
(The true teacher explains.) Through own feelings whatever soul imagines, it begets that kind of body. It occurs through soul's own vibrancy, in association with the karmic matter.
83 झेर, सुधा समजे नहीं, जीव खाय फल थाय। एम शुभाशुभ कर्मर्नु, भोक्तापणुं जणाय ।।८३।। विषं सुधा न चित्तोऽपि खादकः फलमाप्नुयात्।
एवमेव शुभाऽशुभ कर्मणो जीवभोक्तृता।।८३।। __Poison and nectar do not know (their effects), but the eater begets the effect. Same way, soul begets the fruits of good and bad karmas.
