In ignorance of the Lord, the jīva thinks that he himself is the Lord, but the Lord creates and destroys all beings by other jīvas.
“Well, the Mīmāṁśakas say that the jīva is the cause of creation by his own actions.” The jīva thinks he (anīśvaram) is the Lord (ātmānam). “But it is seen that the Pitṛs and others are creators, and tigers are destroyers.” No, the Lord creates and destroys through these living entities.

āyuḥ śrīḥ kīrtir aiśvaryam
āśiṣaḥ puruṣasya yāḥ
bhavanty eva hi tat-kāle
yathānicchor viparyayāḥ
The blessings of long life, wealth, fame and power for man arise according to a favorable time. Similarly, the opposites arise according to time, for the unwilling person.
“There is no worry that you will be victorious over me, since you have defeated me. Why do you fight me with force?” Long life, wealth, fame and power appear according to the time favorable for these things. Now is the time for your victory. You will be victorious. The opposites are death, poverty, infamy, and weakness.
|| 6.12.14 ||
tasmād akīrti-yaśasor
jayāpajayayor api
samaḥ syāt sukha-duḥkhābhyāṁ
mṛtyu-jīvitayos tathā
Therefore, one should think equally of infamy and fame, victory and defeat, happiness and distress, death and life.
Samaḥ means “thinking of them as equal.” Sukha-duḥkhabhyām should be sukha-duḥkhayoḥ.
|| 6.12.15 ||
sattvaṁ rajas tama iti
prakṛter nātmano guṇāḥ
tatra sākṣiṇam ātmānaṁ
yo veda sa na badhyate
One who knows that the guṇas of prakṛti, sattva, rajas and tamas are not the qualities of the soul and who knows that the soul is the observer is not bound by saṁsāra.
Victory and defeat are the products of the guṇas alone. The soul is beyond the guṇas. If one can discriminate in this way, then one does not rejoice or lament. Badhyate means one is not bound by saṁsāra.
