God is only the force of will and action and not the director (implementing own will) of will or action

Who told that God is the doer in theoretical phase? The soul is the doer in theoretical phase also. When somebody thinks to kill a person based on his individual logic and judgment, the soul is the doer in the theoretical phase (samkalpa or will). This will gives direction in the practical implementation of the will, called as action. In practical phase as well as in theoretical phase, God is only the force of will and action and not the director (implementing own will) of will or action.

The powerhouse supplies current to a house. The person in the house can use it for good purposes like light, fan etc., or can use to kill somebody or even to commit suicide. You can’t file a case on powerhouse for the bad purpose used by you arguing that had the powerhouse not supplied the current, the bad purpose couldn’t have been done! Of course, you can appreciate powerhouse for using power for good purposes or you can even keep silent.

People try to file case on the powerhouse (God) only to defend against their sins! God is only the force of action (mental or physical) and this is told in the Veda that God is the force of action or the bull dragging the cart (abdhnan purusham pashum). The bull is only force of action and not the director of the path of action. You are the director of the force of action and hence, you will get the fruit of that path and not the bull! Doership arises only by directorship. Directorship means the will to do a work in the direction planned by the will.
