Śrimad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 6, Ch. 16]
“Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life.” The Lord is extremely antagonistic toward those who are envious of His devotees. To protect His devotees, the Lord sometimes has to kill their enemies. For example, to protect Prahlāda Mahārāja, the Lord had to kill his enemy Hiraṇyakaśipu, although Hiraṇyakaśipu attained salvation because of being killed by the Lord. Since the Lord is the witness of everyone’s activities, He witnesses the actions of the enemies of His devotees, and He is inclined to punish them. In other cases, however, He simply witnesses what the living entities do and gives the results of one’s sinful or pious actions.
TEXT 11
नादत्त आत्मा हि गुणं न दोषं न क्रियाफलम् । 
  उदासीनवदासीनः परावरदगीश्वरः ॥११॥
nādatta ātmā hi guṇam 
  na doṣaṁ na kriyā-phalam 
  udāsīnavad āsīnaḥ 
  parāvara-dṛg īśvaraḥ
na—not; ādatte—accepts; ātmā—the Supreme Lord; hi—indeed; guṇam—happiness; na—not; doṣam—unhappiness; na—nor; kriyā-phalam—the result of any fruitive activity; udāsīna-vat—exactly like a neutral man; āsīnaḥ—sitting (in the core of the heart); para-avara-dṛk—seeing the cause and effect; īśvaraḥ—the Supreme Lord.
TRANSLATION
The Supreme Lord [ātmā], the creator of cause and effect, does not accept the happiness and distress that result from fruitive actions. He is completely independent of having to accept a material body, and because He has no material body, He is always neutral. The living entities, being part and parcel of the Lord, possess His qualities in a minute quantity. Therefore one should not be affected by lamentation.
