How does a Sankhyayogi perform action, O Lord?

A Sankhyayogi who has controlled his body, senses and mind, having mentally renounced all actions in the body of nine gates (holes), doing nothing himself and getting nothing done by others, remains established in the self.(11-12)

A Sankhyayogi neither does anything himself nor does he get it done by others; but does God not determine the doings of beings?

God determines neither the doership nor the doings of human beings nor even their contact with the fruit of actions. But human beings perform action according to their nature and assume doership in it. Thus they have contact with the fruit of action.(13)

God does not determine the doership of anyone, but does lie not partake of the fruit of actions of beings?

No, the omnipresent Lord does not partake of the virtue or sin of anyone. but knowledge of the self being veiled by ignorance; beings are thereby deluded viz., they assume ownership over action and its consequence. So they are born and they die.(14)

Do all beings get deluded by assuming their ownership over action and its consequence

No, those whose ignorance has been destroyed by knowledge (Discrimination), that knowledge shining like the sun freeing them from the assumption of ownership over actions and its consequences reveals the Supreme in them viz., they realize the supreme.(15)
