Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 14

Neither agency, nor actions does the Lord create for the world, nor does He bring about the union with the fruit of action. It is universal ignorance that does it all.

The sense of 'I did this,' and even the whole mechanism linking action to its results, isn't something handed down from above, it traces back to plain ignorance instead.

This clears up a real possible misunderstanding. God isn't the one manufacturing the feeling of being a doer or engineering every consequence, Krishna names ignorance itself as what actually runs that whole system, not divine micromanagement.
