Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya
B.G 2.19
य एनं वेत्ति हन्तारं यश्चैनं मन्यते हतम् । उभौ तौ न विजानीतो नायं हन्ति न हन्यते॥१९ ॥
He who thinks a person to be a killer, and he who thinks another person as killed - both of them are ignorant. He does not kill nor does the other get killed.
Gīta Bhāshya 2.19
The Lord is the real doer.
व्यवहारस्तु भ्रान्त इत्याह य एनम् इ ति। कुतः उक्तहेतुभ्यो नायं हन्ति न हन्यते। नहि प्रतिबिम्बस्य क्रिया। स हि बिम्बक्रिययैव क्रियावान्। ‘ध्यायतीव’ (बृ.उ.६.३.७) इति श्रुतेश्च ॥१९॥
Only those who are disillusioned by material transactions argue - "I am doing". Why? The reason is stated, “neither kills nor is killed”. Reflected images can't initiate action. Only when the original object moves, he moves. Hence, there are Vedic statements such as “dyayativa” i.e. “Lord makes Jiva worship”.

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
