God

It is Siva who does everything, but the ego appropaites the doing to itself. In other scriptural texts this idea is clearly expressed.»The Goddess, forcibly hypnotizing the minds of even wise persons, induces them to ignorant activity. All actions ate actuated by the constituents(gunas)of nature(prakrti); the individual out of egoism and ignorance thinks «I am the doer."God resides in the heart of all beings.
