1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 18 - Moksha Sanyasa Yoga - Sloka 16
The Banyan Tree of Creation
Tatra evam sati kartaram atmanam kevalam tu yah I
Pashyati akruta buddhitvat na sah pashyati durmatih II sloka 16
तत्र एवं सति कर्तारं आत्मानं केवलं तु यः I 
पश्यति अकृत बुद्धित्वात न सः पश्यति दुर्मतिः II अलोक्स 16

That being so, the man of perverse mind, on account of his imperfect understanding looks upon the self, the Absolute, as an agent - he does not see at all.

Thus the doership of the jivatma requires the previous assent of the Lord. So, if a person thinks that the soul alone is the doer and none else is the doer, then he is of wicked and perverse mind. He does not have the correct knowledge and does not see the true nature of things
