All these statements have a philosophy behind which you have to think over carefully. If one says that performance of bad actions is due to God, then one should also accept that the results also are due to Him. Conviction also naturally belongs to the God. He who does good, will be rewarded and the other punished for his misdeed.

The Emblem
" The wavy waters in the picture are symbolic of Karma, the lotus of Bhakti, and the rising-sun of Jnana. The encircling serpent is indicative of Yoga and awakened Kundalini Shakti, while the swan in the picture stands for Paramatman. Therefore, the ideal of the picture is that by the union of Karma, Jnana, Bhakti and Yoga, the vision of the Paramatman is obtained "~Swami Vivekananda
