Bhagavad Geeta 5.15

Sanskrit

नादत्ते कस्यचित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभुः। अज्ञानेनावृतं ज्ञानं तेन मुह्यन्ति जन्तवः।।5.15।।

nādatte kasyachit pāpaṁ na chaiva sukṛitaṁ vibhuḥ ajñānenāvṛitaṁ jñānaṁ tena muhyanti jantavaḥ

Meaning

You alone control your choices and outcomes. Stop blaming circumstances or others; ignorance of this truth keeps you trapped in mediocrity.

Translation

The Omnipresent neither accepts anyone's sin nor even virtue; knowledge remains covered by ignorance, thus the creatures become deluded.
