Neither agency nor actions does the Lord create for the world, nor union with the fruits of actions. But it is Nature that acts.

Explication

Krishna says that the prabhu, the lord, does not produce in people the sense of being doers, nor their actions, nor the connection of actions with their results. All this comes from svabhāva, inherent nature. Some read the lord here as the embodied self, the master of the body, and others as God. In either reading, the point is that the highest principle is not responsible for the workings of action and result. These belong to nature. The verse continues the theme of the self as free from the machinery of action.
