Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

The Lord does not accept responsibility for any person's sin or merit; they are deluded, for wisdom is submerged in ignorance within them.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

The Lord takes neither the demerit nor the merit of any; knowledge is enveloped by ignorance, and beings are deluded.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
