The fruit of the work depends on the direction of the work and not mere work
Question:
If God is the real doer of all the works and hence, all the fruits good or bad should be enjoyed by God only and not the individual soul. Please explain this?
-----------------------------------------------------
Answer: The fruit of the work depends on the direction of the work and not mere work. When you shoot the enemy in the war, you are rewarded. When you shoot a good citizen in society, you are punished. The fruits are different for the different directions of the work. Direction is according to the individual soul. God is like the gun and the shooter is like the individual soul.
The killer is the shooter and not the gun. The work of killing is done by the gun only in both cases and so God is the doer of all the works. The potential doer is only God. The individual soul is also the doer because the fruit is coming to him only. Therefore, the doer can be either God or individual soul. In order to destroy the ego, God can be taken as doer in the theoretical phase. In practical phase, the individual soul can be taken as the doer that enjoys the fruit of the work. The Gita said that God is also enjoyer (Bhokta). The fruit enjoyed by God is the entertainment, which is always good but the fruit enjoyed by the individual soul may be also bad for its wrong work.
This wrong work can be avoided by cutting the ego. Ego is the root of the sin. God enjoys good fruit and also likes the individual soul also to enjoy the good fruit. Therefore, He preached the way to cut the ego through the Gita. The verb used in the practical phase is ‘Kuru’ (do) as said in the Gita (Kuru Karma…).
If God does not preach the spiritual knowledge to differentiate good and bad, certainly, God will be entitled to the intentional crime. The reason is that you may say that God is enjoying by exposing you to the freedom in an atmosphere of good and bad. You may also say that such freedom spoiled you to do bad work and this is sadism since God is enjoying through such entertainment. Your argument is totally wrong because God has given you the intelligence to discriminate good and bad. He is also preaching that you should do good works and get good fruits only. The freedom given to you brings the fruits to you only and the intensified preaching of God avoids the link of the fruit to God and also avoids even a trace of intentional crime to be linked to Him. The Lord says in the Gita that the fruit is linked to the intentional aim of the doer and not linked to the mere inert work (Samkalpa Prabhavaan…).
