Dwadasha stothra 4 : Verse 6

Entities like Karma, Avidya, Doshas, Time, the three Gunas etc. cannot attain lordship of this world as it is well known that they are Jada (Achethana or incapable of knowledge). Shruthi proclaims that Hari controls the entire world of Chethana and Jada entities. This is an extension of the previous Yukthi that the world is controlled by Hari only and not by any of the other entities offered as alternatives by other schools. The logical statement and its implications are profound and need to be examined in depth.
