Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5, Verse 14

न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभुः | न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते ||

na kartṛtvaṁ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛjati prabhuḥ na karma-phala-saṁyogam svabhāvas tu pravartate

The Lord does not create doership or actions for the world, nor the connection of action and fruit. But nature acts.

Krishna explains the mechanism of action: the Lord (prabhuḥ) does not create (sṛjati) doership (kartṛtvam) or actions (karmāṇi) for the world (lokasya), nor the connection of action and fruit (karma-phala-saṁyogam). But nature (svabhāvaḥ) acts (pravartate). This means actions arise from nature—the inherent qualities and tendencies of beings. The Lord doesn't force anyone to act or create the connection between action and result—nature operates according to its own laws. This understanding supports the yogi's perception of non-doership: actions arise from nature, not from the Self. The yogi sees actions as the play of nature, not as personal actions requiring personal responsibility for results.
