COMMENTARY

In Brahman, as Creator, there exists no fault of partiality or cruelty. The differences of condition in which creatures are born, and the pleasure and pain which they suffer, depend on their own Karmas, and the Lord creates the environment, in which the creatures are placed, with the strictest regard to such Karma. The proof of this is the scripture itself. For in the Kaushitaki Upanishad, III., 8, we find the following:

For He makes him whom He wishes to lead up from these worlds do a good deed, according to the tendencies created by his past Karmas, and the same makes him whom He wishes to lead down from these worlds, do a bad deed according to bad tendencies generated by the past Karmas.

Note: — Every act of man is really done under the will of the Lord. A man can do a good or bad deed, only if the Lord so wills it, for He is the sole agent in this world. But this world of the Lord is not capricious and lawless. The man who has done good Karmas in the past, gets further energy from the Lord to do better Karmas in this life, and thus rise higher. It is in this way only that the Lord makes him whom He wishes to lead up from these worlds do a good deed. And so also the reverse. The wish of the Lord has always regard to the karmas of the Jiva.

Jivas get the condition of Deva-hood through the will of the Lord, similarly they get the condition of the denizens of hell through the same will of the Lord. The Lord is the operative cause of the suffering and the enjoyment of the Jivas. But this will of the Lord has always regard to the Karma of the Jiva.
