God is the creator of all
God is the creator of all, even of cosmic delusion;
but it is man’s response to maya
through the misuse of the divine gift of free choice
that creates in him the sense of egoism
and the desire to act according to its dictates
and to enjoy the fruits of actions.
When man exercises discrimination
and does not respond to cosmic delusion,
he uses his free will rightly to choose only
the influence of the inner divine wisdom.
Thus he escapes the punishment
that results from the false conviction
of being an independent doer of actions.
