Talk:Īshvara is Omniscient, Witness and the Giver of Fruit of our Karm
By Sri Vishal Agarwal
I know the past and the present as also the future beings, but no one knows Me! Gītā 7.26
The one Deva, hidden in all beings, all-pervading, the inner ātmā of all beings, the overseer of all karm, who dwells in all beings, the witness, the knower, the only one who is not tainted by the guṇa-s. Yajurveda, Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.11
The fruit of karm comes from Brahman, because that possibility alone is the logical one. Brahmasūtra 3.2.38
The witness and permitter, sustainer, experiencer, the great Bhagavān, the Supreme Ātmā thus is also called the Supreme Puruṣa inside this body. Gītā 13.22
Īśvara, the Dispenser, is the One who gives happiness and sorrows, and what is dear and what is not dear to all creatures on the basis of their past karmas. Īśvara indeed is the Master of everyone. Mahābhārata 3.30.22
Just as space is all-pervading, Īśvara too pervades all creatures (as a witness) and determines their measure of happiness and sorrows depending on their karmas. Mahābhārata 3.30.24
Vedāntic texts emphasize that nothing is hidden from the Supreme, who is described as all-pervading and present within the entire creation. As the witness to all actions, the Supreme ensures that every being receives the appropriate result of its karm.
