Solution

The correct answer is c. Krishna does not attach to the creation of Varnas as they are a division of labour based on qualities.

This is based on the philosophy of Karma and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. According to the Gita, the four Varnas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras) are not created by Krishna but are based on the qualities and actions of individuals. Krishna, as the supreme God, is detached from these worldly classifications and does not favor or discriminate against any Varna.

The philosophy of Karma emphasizes that individuals are responsible for their actions and the consequences that follow. It does not support the idea that God is the only creator and humans are not responsible for their actions (option a).

Option b is incorrect because the four Varnas are not divided based on the consequences of Karma, but rather on the qualities and actions of individuals.

Option e is incorrect because Krishna did not create the four Varnas to punish evil-doers. The Varnas are not a system of punishment or reward, but a division of labor based on qualities.

Option f is a misinterpretation of the concept of surrender in the Bhagavad Gita. While it is true that surrendering to God is a path to liberation, it does not mean that one can escape the consequences of their actions by simply surrendering their evil deeds to God.

Therefore, the only correct option is c. Krishna does not attach to the creation of Varnas as they are a division of labour based on qualities.
