नादत्ते कस्यचित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभुः। अज्ञानेनावृतं ज्ञानं तेन मुह्यन्ति जन्तवः।।5.15।।
Transliteration
nādatte kasyachit pāpaṁ na chaiva sukṛitaṁ vibhuḥ ajñānenāvṛitaṁ jñānaṁ tena muhyanti jantavaḥ
In plain words
You are carrying blame that was never yours to carry — whether it's shame about your own mistakes, or the weight of someone else's choices, or anger at God for what happened. Krishna says: the Divine doesn't collect your sins or your goodness; ignorance does all the damage, and ignorance can be dissolved. When you stop drowning in fault and blame, you touch the part of you that was never broken.
Word by Word
The Divine does not carry the weight of anyone's actions—karma belongs entirely to the doer, not to God. What binds us is not sin or virtue themselves, but ignorance that veils our true nature and causes us to forget we are eternally untouched consciousness.
When you stop blaming God, circumstances, or others for your suffering, and instead recognize ignorance as the only true obstacle, you become free to awaken the knowledge that was always yours.
