गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

"The Lord engages the living entity in pious activities."* According to Jaimini, the Supreme Lord does not give the results of actions, either directly or indirectly. The Lord creates only the actions themselves and the results are given by the actions. Here someone may object: Is it not so that actions are over in a moment, whereas there is often a great lapse of time before actions bear their karmic result? If the actions quickly cease to exist they cannot create the karmic results, for something that has ceased to exist cannot create something new. To this objection Jaimini may reply: No. It is not so. Even though the action itself comes to an end, it leaves behind a potential result. Only when this result is fulfilled is the action actually completed. Even if there is a considerable lapse of time, the action itself gives the result to the person, a result appropriate to that particular action. Thus actions are the givers of results. In the following words Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the author of the sūtras, gives His opinion. Sūtra 42 pūrvaṁ tu bādarāyaṇo hetu-vyapadeśāt pūrvaṁ—previous; tu—but; bādarāyaṇaḥ—Vyāsadeva; hetu—of the cause; vyapadeśāt—from the description. But Vyāsadeva holds the previous view, for the Lord is described as the cause. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Here the word "tu" (but) is employed to dispel doubt. Vyāsadeva holds the previous view, that the Supreme Personality of Godhead awards the fruits of action. Why so? The sūtra explains: "for the Lord is described as the cause". In the Praśna Upaniṣad (3.7) it is said: puṇyena puṇyaṁ lokaṁ nayati pāpena pāpam "The Supreme Lord takes the pious to the world of the pious and the sinful to the world of the sinful."
