33. Cleansing Ignorance With Knowledge (5.14-5.17)

Kṛṣṇa gives a deep understanding. He says, 'I do not create activities or make people do or connect with the fruits of the actions. All this is done by the material nature of humans (5.14).'

Kṛṣṇa is talking about the creation of the Universe itself here, not just about individuals. Nothing in this Universe can be created or destroyed. When I say, nothing, I mean nothing. Everything that exists has always existed in some form or the other. It will continue to exist in some form or the other.

The game of life is all about man trying to realize the Divine in him and the Divine trying to express itself through man.

Kṛṣṇa gives us another technique to liberate ourselves. He says surrender leads to liberation, and happens when one's intelligence is focused on Him.When we cognize that there is a life force that is conducting this Universe and is taking care of us, we relax. When we relax, we can live at our peak potential. We experience liberation. This is surrender. This is true knowledge too. This is the knowledge that cannot be taught or picked up. The Master can simply transmit it when our being is ready to receive it.
