CHAPTER 5
The Supreme God : Enjoyer of Yagya
नादत्ते कस्यचित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभु:। [ “The all-pervading God, the Glorious One, accepts neither men’s sinful acts nor attachment because their knowledge is enveloped by ignorance (maya[1].”] The one who has been named God is now described as the Glorious One because he is embellished with sublime glory. That God, all powerful and radiant, accepts neither our sins nor our righteous actions. But people yet say that he does everything, because their knowledge is clouded with ignorance. As yet the men who speak so are only mortal beings, enclosed within bodies. Subject to delusion they can say anything. So Krishn now elucidates the function of knowledge. |

- ↑ Ishwar is the God associated with the power called maya, the power to evolve as the empirical universe, or with universal ignorance; the individual man is God associated with individual ignorance. The distinction between God and man is that God controls maya, but man is controlled by it. Cf. The Upanishad Mandukya.
