Uitleg
Krishna applies the list universally. Whatever a person begins to do with body, speech or mind, whether the act is right or wrong, these five are its causes. The point is not to remove responsibility but to show that action arises from a combination of factors. This prepares for the next verse, which warns against the narrow view that the individual alone is the whole cause of what happens.
