Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 16
A man, by identifying himself with a body, has a desire for worldly pleasure and prosperity.[1] So this attachment to the matter is the cause of demoniac nature. If he is not attached to it i.e., he does not attach importance to it, his divine nature is self-evident. So Lord Krsna assures all the strivers, through Arjuna, that they should not grieve and worry, if they see demoniac nature in them, because they naturally possess divine nature also[2]. The Lord means, that a striver should never be disappointed, in the spiritual path, because being a fragment of God he automatically possesses divine nature. When a striver, aims at God-realization, divine nature, is automatically revealed, in him. The Lord has bestowed this human body by His grace, so that human beings may realize Him. So, if they have no will of their own but identify their will, with that of the Lord, they by His grace, attain salvation automatically.

But a man being overpowered by desire, born of the attachment to the perishable, performs forbidden actions which bear adverse fruit and the man becomes a defaulter and a sinner (against his wish).
