All the actions of Maharaj are for the liberation of the jivas and are of the nature of knowledge, but not for His own happiness; therefore, He is the non-doer. Just as if someone has killed a hundred people and, in order to kill another hundred, In the Gita, Bhagwan said, 'By renouncing action, one does not attain freedom from action.' By renouncing action, one does not attain freedom from action. So, by renouncing action, everyone would attain freedom from action, like that. Even the followers of Sankhya. So, if all the great sages go astray, then what is the harm if we go astray? Even the great sages have gone astray, thinking that by renouncing action, freedom from action is attained. But Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.

But still, one cannot remain quiet in mind. Why does He do like this? It was not digested. Just as if someone has killed a hundred people and, in order to kill another hundred, feeds them laddoos mixed with arsenic, is he killing them or feeding them? He is indeed killing them. Moreover, just as when someone performs a desire-filled sacrifice and worships a deity in it, is he doing it for the sake of the deity or for the sake of heavenly happiness? He is doing it only for the sake of heavenly happiness. If we are performing seva and arranging our own share in it, then what are we doing? That is the point. Similarly, whatever actions the Supreme Lord performs, high or low, proper or improper, He does them all only for the liberation of the jivas, but not in the least for His own self-interest. Therefore, while being the doer of all actions, He is indeed the non-doer. Ignorant jivas do not understand this and, considering Him to be like themselves, attribute greed, lust, and other emotions to Ishwar, and also falsely interpret the rules prescribed in the scriptures for their liberation and harbor hatred. Therefore, by falsely interpreting them, then all that He has said, His commandments, are also considered false. Then who is right? Who is right? Oneself. Oneself alone. No one else is right. And others like him are also right, like that. And those rules which are prescribed in the scriptures for their liberation, they also falsely interpret them and harbor hatred, therefore they attain a demonic nature and they do not lead to their liberation, and all His actions are divine and liberating. He may take someone's property and give it to someone else, and give someone's wife or daughter to someone else, and give someone's sister or wife to someone else; one who understands such infinite types of actions as divine and knows that their liberation must be happening in that way. It happens only in that way, like that. Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.
