God makes insentient sentient ... We the souls are sentient parts of God ... Exercising free will we perform actions through His power ... A very enlightening discourse on whether God is the doer or we are the doers.🙏❤️🙏😇

How we exercise our free determines our future destiny in that case. So amazing.

God provides us with the energy to do actions. God has given us the free will to choose. It is up to us to decide what we think, what we do.

[@dalerafferty2605]

It is so amazing how Swamiji acts as a personal coach for so many people across the world. There are many things about life that we can question, 🙋 and he always had an uplifting answer.

[@vasukanjee6582]

Yes, he does and it all makes sense 👌🙏

[@elizabeththomas4956]

[@sibanandapradhan6006]

Pranam guruji

[@ramyashinde7550]

God gives us the power to channel our energy, whether to contemplate Him and our Guru or focus on material things. It's up to us to deeply reflect and utilize every action to serve God, dedicating each moment to thinking about Him. Instead of playing the blame game, questioning why we face consequences for mistakes if God is the doer, let us ponder this deeply.

[@JKYogAdmin]

True - And we will need to put in tons of efforts... since the mind is material, it slips so easily into the material consciousness.

[@MrAbhin619]

[@Nofux2give]

i was wondering exactly the same thing after my reading of the Bhagavat Geeta, thats how the Lord communicates, through these little 'coincidences' 🤣🤣Hare Krishna🙏🙏

[@punamparekh15]

Jai Shree Ram!!! Our karma is the result of our actions.

[@saradapemmaraju6855]

Very nicely explained how we are responsible for our actions and not God. God gives the energy and we have freedom to utilise it however we want. The example given of power house wonderful. It clearly shows how we have the freedom to utilise the electricity. Similar way. We can utilise our free will to use it for good purpose or the other way we cannot blame God in case if you’re watching movies and why you are showing me the movie? God gives the freedom to see, what we see is our own will.

[@InspirePath91]

Radhey Radhey Guruji 🙏 Jai Shri Radhey 🙏

[@sam_55555]

God gives us the energy to do actions. It is up to us how to utilize that energy. I was always puzzled about this question and Swamiji answered it so clearly and beautifully.

[@venkatrao6158]

Radhey Radhey, God gives power to us, whether we utilise in right or wrong direction it is in our hands.

[@RupaliMusicOfficial]

Thankyou swamiji for the enlightening lecture. It is our duty to use the power of god in right direction, to choose him and to do the right karmas.

[@anitaramanna7506]

We’re the doers, thank you swamiji for all the excellent examples and evidences🙏

[@vinishagunaseelan2783]

This is such a great explanation by Swamiji on who is the doer. God gave us the power to think and see but what we choose to see and think lies in our choice. We are responsible for our actions!

[@ravishankarch8910]

Thank you so much swamiji for this wonderful lecture. Happy Gita Jayanthi to you and every devotee. We are responsible for our actions. God gave us body, mind and intellect but what we make out of it is our responsibility. So enlightening message as always.

[@AMIT-sr5ke]

Our choices make the difference.

[@adithyakomatineni5548]

God has infinite energy he gives power to so work but what work we do is just upto our freewill

[@kalashinaik9828]

Radhey Radhey 🙏 🙏

[@smitharanjit2956]

Such an inspiring explanation from Swamiji- taking responsibility for choice making matures us. There is no escaping from choice making. One of the best choices we can make is to surrender to God and Guru.

[@nehasharan8396]

Wonderful lecture on who the doer is! There are two types of doers Prayojak karta and Prayojya karta, one who gives us the power and energy to do and one who actually does it. Since God provides us with the power to do anything but what we do with the power is our choice, we are responsible for our actions and hence bear the consequences of our actions! 🙏🙏

[@jayveenrhajgunaseelan2454]

We must face the consequences of our actions, therefore before we act, we must think wisely. Thank you Swamiji for this divine knowledge 🙏

[@youva_rani]

God gives us the energy to perform the actions, we should think and then perform and be ready to bear the consequences. We have to make the choice , either to do the right thing or the wrong.

[@sathishhari4706]

How to relax to learn!!!!!!!

[@sailajabaral9782]

God blessed us with amazing power..Its our free will how we utilise it and will get consequences of our actions.

[@subhamdas1477]

God is the one who gives us power to do work. But we are the one who is doer or the receiver to recieve the power and to do work.🙏

[@rajatkumarmahapatra7142]

Wonderful lecture. As a soul is eternal servant of God, it can be satiated when it actually do it's service to God. Therefore God has given us free will, what we choose to do. A service towards anybody cannot be possible without any option to choose (free will).

[@vidyavenupawar6364]

God is the one who provides energy to us, to do any actions. What we do with that energy is purely our own choice, it leads to our karma, to bear the fruits of our actions. Good results for the good actions and bad results for bad actions. As God is the energy giver, scriptures called God is the doer. But God gave us a super power to make choices. If such freedom wouldn't be there, we are just robots in the hands of God. Do not blame God for our wrong doings, make the best choice to love God, to do devotion and to serve God. God always wanted to see the children in right path that is devotion. Think of Him, to get Him

[@sambugarirekha1066]

God is keep on blessings us power .but hee point is that how we are utilising it in our life it's upto in our hands ...so we should be utilised it properly..tq Swamiji

[@madhusmitadash6439]

We are responsible for our actions.God gives us energy to do all the activities.So God is called the doer.

[@AudioTruyenLangQue]

Our soul is hankering for happiness in this illusionary world❤

[@vandanamahajan4826]

🙏

[@deepthicheemalamarri4178]

Whatever we face in life,it's totally according to Gods will.whayever we face it gives inner strength and confidence to lead the life with more enthusiasm.

[@sapanbiswal2343]

🙏🙏🙏

[@satyanarayanasharma9484]

We are responsible for our actions and we have to bear the consequences, however if any good things of spirituality happen,it is because of his grace otherwise we would not be able to do that

[@AkashSharma__]

His grace is showered upon us, only when *we* love him, we do bhakti, take his *name* ... That's why without we putting some efforts to do anything, nothing will happen!!

[@sahilnegi_09]

As far as I know we were created so that God could reciprocate because it takes atleast two personalities for that. If it's true, why should we suffer now? We will never be absolutely independent because He created us in such a way that we will be miserable without Him. I would be enlightened if someone could answer it sincerely. I really want to know. Thanks.

[@santoshsahu3357]

God is the power house. We souls are power less without him. He is always with us ,supplying energy to utilize by our own interest. Due to ignorance we utilize that power in wrong way, so we are responsible for the consequences that results from our actions. We are the doer. Not the power house Supreme lord. Thanks swamiji for the enlightening wisdom 🙏 🙌

[@Prhajk]

We are presented with choices every minute. It’s up to us what we do with it. God gives us the energy to do work, the choice is ours!

[@sandhyadas6323]

God is the doer of everything. But He has given us the power to see, smell, hear, touch and taste , intellect to think and decide and freedom to work.But He is the judge of our actions.If we do good we face the good consequences and if we do bad we face bad consequences.

[@sudhasarangi3067]

Though God gives us the power, we have independent choice to utilise it. Hence we have to use the power to gain the ultimate goal of human form.

[@abdheshkumarnews900]

We are responsible for our actions

[@SamskritWords]

Wonderful, You are doing a great service towards Sanatana Dharma. Even I'm trying my bit to propagate the Sanskrit language through *my Channel* *Samskrutam* which would help learn simple Sanskrit words through English used in day to day life.

[@sushamanayak4032]

We are responsible for our action . We are doer and we should corrected ourselves

[@gourisankar845]

What we are doing, we are responsible for that God gave us senses, how we utilise it depends upon us....

[@goutamik1038]

We the people do our duties just believe in god

[@MeenuKapoorKripaludassi]

God gives us the power to do the actions. Now it is our choice what and how we perform our actions with our free will.❤

[@indianmilitary]

'Gives us" which means doing. But the omnipresent athma (Shiva) is NOT the doer of any action even though impassive experiencer. Shakthi is the doer of all actions. Humans with six senses should realize the true self (athma- the impassive experiencer) and mimic its non doer attributes in actions (inaction in action) or action without creating karma . So, dharmic action is important.

[@KrsnaChetavani]

Deceit leads to downfall, while sincerity paves the way for success. Choose your actions wisely. Hare Krishna!! ❤

[@Vaishnavi-eg8pu]

We are given choices every moment. God has given us the free will to choose what we want to do with it. We can either serve God and Guru or we can serve Maya. The choice is up to us!

[@indianmilitary]

There is no god. Athma is not the same as god. Omnipresent Athma (Shiva) is the impassive experiencer and not the doer of any action. Shakthi is the doer. In the wake state due to ignorance and ahamkara, false identification with thoughts and body lead to attachment, karma and reincarnation.

[@aaronnarain]

If we are responsible for our actions, then when we do something good, why is it credited to god and only when we do something bad it comes to us?

[@v1k2s3]

God will give us power to do the things, how to use that power is in our hands so what ever work we do, we need to face the consequences as well. Use your intellect and do the Karma's as per the scriptures.

[@sunriselotus]

Yes but the catch is we have to offer all of our actions to the lord so that they do not lead to karma Bandhan a. Once we surrender our mind and this our actions to the lord, he himself takes responsibility. Hence, Karishye vachanam tava. All actions go to Shri Krishna. And also the bramharpanam shloka which is there is an important one too.

[@raghuveermaduvinakody379]

Listeners, use the comments section to ask thought provoking, matured questions to seek better understanding of Swamiji's spiritual disposition. If you are better learned, start your own channel. But, if you are an humble knowledge seeker, don't give your gyan here to other listeners. Thank you. 🙏

[@shreshthsuri829]

If we did a mistake unknowingly, like if I did something, and it did not turn out good, was it destiny? god's plan?what was it?

[@shreshthsuri829]

How will I know that I was wrong here, this was my mistake, and that no it's all okay this was god's plan

[@bankersaddaofficial]

नादत्ते कस्यचित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभु: | अज्ञानेनावृतं ज्ञानं तेन मुह्यन्ति जन्तव: || 15 BG 5.15: The omnipresent God does not involve Himself in the sinful or virtuous deeds of anyone. The living entities are deluded because their inner knowledge is covered by ignorance.

[@deepanshuraj9886]

God gives us power to do anything but whatever we will do with that given power will our choice. And if we will do something wrong with that power then certainly we will be punished by the almighty.

[@adminofficer3509]

When we feel we did the action, then we bear the karma. If we feel God is doing then God is punished not we.

[@manjushreerath]

If God is the doer of all actions then what is the point of telling us the dos and dont’s in the Vedas? If God is the doer of all actions, then why does the jeev have to bear the consequences? If God is the doer, why in the world, some people are good and some others evil? The statement - जो करै सो हरि करै, हाेत कबीर कबीर - God is the doer of all our actions”, was said in relation to the actions of the God-realized saints. In our case, He, as the powerhouse, gives us the energy and way we use that energy is our free choice.
