Prayojya Karta (प्रयोज्य कर्ता)

Prayojya Karta (प्रयोज्य कर्ता | prayojya kartā) means the one who acts using power provided by another.

The jeev is Prayojya Karta because it uses the power granted by God to perform actions.

The jeev is also called Prerya (प्रेर्य | prerya) in this context.

The Jeev Chooses How to Act

God provides the power to act, but the jeev exercises its free will in choosing how to use that power.

The same power can be used to perform good or bad actions. God provides the power, but does not determine how the jeev chooses to use it.

Therefore, the jeev depends upon God for the power to act, yet remains responsible for its choices and their consequences.

God is Prayojak Karta (प्रयोजक कर्ता | prayojaka kartā)—the one who provides the power to act.
