ब्रह्मण्यकारणे ब्रह्मन्ब्रह्मादिषु फलेषु च ।
कर्मणां फलमस्तीति द्वयं लोके प्रमार्जितम् ॥ २५ ॥

brahmaṇyakāraṇe brahmanbrahmādiṣu phaleṣu ca |
karmaṇāṃ phalamastīti dvayaṃ loke pramārjitam || 25 ||

And again to say, that Brahma is not the origin of actions, and that Brahma and other living beings are subjected to their several actions, are self contradictory propositions and opposed to common sense. (For the acts do not originate from Brahma, they cannot be binding on others; and if the actions do not proceed from that source, whence do they come to take place). This question upsets the doctrine of Free Will.
