Illusion (SB cantos 7 - 12)
Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 7
Everyone enjoys the fruits of his qualitative activities. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (14.11-13):
- sarva-dvāreṣu dehe 'smin
- prakāśa upajāyate
- jñānaṁ yadā tadā vidyād
- vivṛddhaṁ sattvam ity uta
- lobhaḥ pravṛttir ārambhaḥ
- karmaṇām aśamaḥ spṛhā
- rajasy etāni jāyante
- vivṛddhe bharatarṣabha
- aprakāśo 'pravṛttiś ca
- pramādo moha eva ca
- tamasy etāni jāyante
- vivṛddhe kuru-nandana
"The manifestations of the modes of goodness can be experienced when all the gates of the body are illumined by knowledge.
"O chief of the Bhāratas, when there is an increase in the mode of passion, the symptoms of great attachment, uncontrollable desire, hankering, and intense endeavor develop.
"O son of Kuru, when there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, madness, illusion, inertia and darkness are manifested."
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present in everyone's heart, simply gives the results of the increase in the various qualities, but He is impartial. He supervises victory and loss, but He does not take part in them.
