When I have based my responses to external events on surrender to God's will, I was able to surmount all difficulties with poise, peace and success. There is great wisdom in this concept, I request one and all who read this comment, to try it out and be happy and content ever after.
Swami Viveknanda had said "Free will is a misnomer.Will can never be free.How can it be free? It is only when the true Self has become bound that this so called will come into existence and not before.The will of Man is bound, but that which is the foundation of that Will is eternally free.
So, Freewill is to be free from ego, from destiny, from the fruit of what we do. Just going on our destined route, we have a choice of realising that the end dosnt matter and it only matters to our ego. We are free to realise this. Beautiful ❤
SWAMI SIVANANDA The will of a man is ever free. Man has power to choose between the alternatives which fate brings before him. In choosing between them he may either follow his tendencies produced by his past actions or struggle against them. Swami Sivananda

I heard about a study. They opened the head of a person and stimulated the brain-area which is responsible for bodypart movements. The person raised the arm or leg whenever the doctor stimulated the naked brain in the open head in this area. The person was asked why it moved its bodyparts. The answer was, because I wanted it. 😅
Sri Ramana Maharshi used to say even the thought of God (or the yearning for Truth) is only possible because of God (meaning it is God who generates that sankalpa in us to seek the true Self). Maybe there is an answer hinted there to your question.
There is no need to surrender. Vedanta has always been saying You are the Brahman (now, temporarily in human form). Renunciation and iniquiry in the right way will lead to realization. Once you realize, unification with the consciousness (Yoga), it's done.
All of your thought processing, which is what conscious decisions amount to, occurs at the subconscious level. It is cause and effect. There is no "god" to surrender to so don't worry about it.
@@wthomas7955 I am sorry, there’s nothing called subconscious. Consciousness is always there and even Swamy Sarvapriyanda says in one video that it is submind . Whatever comes to mind is lit up by the consciousness.
@@vish2553 What you don't seem to understand is that the vast majority of your thought processing occurs unconsciously. The result of said processing is what rises to the level of conscious awareness. This is limited to what the memory is able to retain. If you don't understand this you need to go to school and get a grounding in science.
Krishna says in the Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 18 verses 13-16: " O mighty-armed Arjuna, according to the Vedanta there are five causes for the accomplishment of all action. Now learn of these from me." "The place of action [ the body], the performer, the various senses, the many different kinds of endeavor, and ultimately the supersoul ( Vishnu )_these are the five factors of action." "Whatever right or wrong action a man performs by body, mind or speech is caused by these five factors. Therefore one who thinks himself the only doer, not considering the five factors, is certainly not very intelligent and cannot see things as they are." We being the performer of action do have free will to act but it is done with the assistance of other factors, so we are doers of action, but we should not think that we are independent to act without the other four factors.
❤ we cannot separate Atman from the other elements of the human being as if they were something that functions independently and without connection to Atman....
There is no freewill because for freewill to be there, “you” have to be there.. “You” don’t exist.. What you call “you” is bundle of thoughts of memories.. “You” only have a concrete idea of yourself based on what you know about yourself till now and it is all memories saved up as a program. The first thought was “I am the body”.. All other thoughts superimpose on this idea bringing an illusion that “you” exist.. You wanna find out how there is no “you”? Ok as you are reading this comment.. in the moment.. there is only reading.. Reader and Read have merged in reading.. There is only the experiencing but no separate experiencer or experienced at all.. It’s when the awareness of the continuity of moment which is timeless is interfered by a thought “I am reading this”.. “You” appear suddenly in a thought which is of the past and is a memory while the presence is lost there.. Do you see this? Everything is spontaneously happening in the moment as it is.. There is no doer at all.. It’s when identified with the thought of doin, there is an illusion of an existence of a doer and that doer assumes itself having a free will .. Without a doer, can there be a free will? Please inquire.. Let go of all speculations and learning thru mind.. Observe the mind and understand its movement in totality.. Something extraordinarily will happen ♥️
One more point. I love Sarvapriyananda but he only talks from within a tradition that itself has limitations. There has been tremendous research over the last 50 years since Edgar Cayce. What we have learned is there is an extremely complex metaphysical technology to the "Transactional Reaity". For example, when a soul dies, an important aspect of life in the higher realms is a "life review.' Here one has to feel, in a holographic like setting, not only the consequences and impact of every action one has on others but one also has to completely FEEL that impact as it was felt by the other. IMO this is what propels soul growth in the reincarnation process. Now if there is no free will, **why is that event, which seems consistent for all souls**, even in existence?' What would be the point if there were no real accountability, no consequences for choices? Why bring into existence such a profound conscious examination of each life so decisions can be made about future growth? That is just one of many examples that do not make sense to me.
❤Neurological activity is not opposed or contradictory to free will. If you think so you do not understand what free will is, and what a human being is.
What I fail to understand is If there isn't any free will what shall be the motivation to work. Vices and virtues are all in god's hand then what is our purpose here. ? Feel free to solve my dillema.
So every thought , emotions , decisions ,prayers all are god's will??if yes then why we pray ,why we are taking decisions ? If there is no I then what is our role in this world? If we are not doers then how can one coexist with God ? please help me understand 🙏
Kavita, yes it's all a paradox. Call it God's will or no free will. It's the same for us humans. Try not to think about these things (if he wills haha).
God guides us, but ultimately it's us who take the decisions. That's why in bhagavad Gita, after teaching Arjuna, ultimately god addressed Arjuna , as '' now do whatever you want" If it's totally god's will , then how a parent can create troublesome and worried life for his children We take decisions, do karma, and enjoy/experience our own Karma fal, that's why even we are having not so good life, there's always a way back.
Swamiji, Pranam 🙏 I am an ordinary householder, a devotee of Mother Goddess. I am facing a debt situation. In order to settle the bank loan I am forced to sell my house. The situation demands that. I am completely surrendered to my Mother Goddess and working on selling the house. Is this free will?
Without free will love is an illusion. The greatest commandment in the Bible says , " you should love the lord thy God with all of your mind and soul."
It is the otherwise. It is only FREEWILL. Nothing more or less in Advaita. I the Supreme Power have chosen what all I have to be done. Only difference is I do not claim it is my action.
Who are you? Are you not God dancing as a person? Is there any separation between God and you (as Consciousness)? And if you are Consciousness, are you devoid of free will?
As per Bhagavad Gita we have authority over actions and not the result. So everyone is free to act as per their own discretion, sense of understanding things and reap results accordingly and sometimes otherwise.
In the Third Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, verse 27, it is written: prakṛiteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśhaḥ ahankāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate Translation: “All actions are being performed by the modes (gunas) of Prakrti (manifested nature), but the ignorant one whose mind is bewildered by the self-sense (ahamkara or ego-sense), thinks ‘I am the doer’.”

You can assume to Be what you wish to Be here and now by being it in your imagination. This power of imagination is the power of Self in you which is pure potentiality and can be anyone and when identified with nothing, it simply is as it is altho even assuming itself as anything else , it has the capability to project as that altho its pure being is unaltered! But how the shift happens from this to that and what the body goes thru is not in your own power to choose.. This is the law of assumption and this is how one can create their own destiny by visualizing or affirming oneself as the ideal one wants to be HERE AND NOW and thru the power of Self within, one becomes that.. Be and it is.. This is the spiritual way.. just like by assuming Oneself with full conviction that I Am Brahman and not identifying with anyone and anything else, one can Actualize or Realize Brahman as well :) You can’t want or seek anything but you can Be anything for you are infinite possibilities:)
In my opinion, God is prosperity. You can talk of high ideals only if you are prosperous or in other words, people will listen to you only if you are prosperous. You can feel the presence of God only if you have the money or if you are going to have money. Paramhansa was spot on when he said “khali petey bhokti hoyna”.

Swami Vivekanand said,"Arise, Awake and not stop till the goal is reached." Please help me understand if this refers to free will of an individual who can achieve his worldly goals. Or was it in a different context of going within and realising our True self(Atman). Ramana Maharishi also said, the only free will you have is to turn within and realise your true nature. Rest everything is pre-determined as per (praarabdha karma). Is Swami Vivekananda also referring to the same? If someone can please clarify.. 🙏

So the Murderer when he murders is not responsible - his decision to kill is coming automatically either from him or from GOD and he has nothing to do with it. Or have I misunderstood it.
Hello sir, happy to see you here. I think what Swamiji trying to convey is that every one of us is Brahman(Atman) and Atman is ever free. Until we have names and forms because of our past karma we are tied up. Shri Krishna explains the same to Arjuna in the war field. When Arjuna say that how can I kill my own family members, Shri Krishna replies that you are already free as Atman and it is I am doing these to uphold Dharma. Karma sets in by intention rather than action. If the murder kills with evil intention then he is bound to karma. If the same killing was done by a police officer to safeguard people then it won't add to Karma. The action of killing is the same in both cases, but in the latter case, the intention is pure. - Muthu Vijayan Elango, Astrologer
@@innovativeastrosolutions570 Can any one tell me when a person Murder someone is this also destiny that he will kill someone If yes then where is bad karma if this is destiny Because he is destiny to murder some that means no bad karma
@@27Naaveen The Karma is set by the intention, not by only action. If the murderer kills another person with the intention of taking revenge or doing something bad then he will accumulate bad karma. But in case he kills another person to safeguard a larger audience then he is free of bad karma. In Mahabharata, Shri Krishna explains this concept to Draupadi before the war. When Draupadi tells Shri Krishna that she wanted to kill Duryodhana, Shri Krishna says advice her not to kill Duryodhana with the intention to take revenge instead he should be killed so that no woman in this world shouldn't get humiliated like her. This will set you free of bad karma. I have explained this in detail in my recent interview with G Vijaya Kumar. ua-cam.com/video/34Djkq79XgY/v-deo.html
Good and bad are all God's Will, his lila. I/ego does not exist. Read about the Ajivikas of Ancient India. Their philosophy is almost the same as expressed here in this video.
@@27Naaveen it's destined. Murderers thought process is programmed like that by destiny, his surroundings & situations will make him murderer. Karma doesn't exists in deeper level. Karma is tendencies or trait. Karma is taught to resist the tendencies & change pattern. That Resistance gives struggle but it improves the spirit. Like if a murderer feels bad for doing murder & resist his instinct his spirit will improve, or he will keep diving into more deeper Karma cycles.
There is no free will. Calling what happens "god's will" is equally as silly. There's no god who is free to do whatever it wants. This corner of existence is governed by natural law. It's all cause and effect.
@@wthomas7955 u still don't understand, stuck in Duality cause & effect theory. Ultimately there's no cause effect. Everything is happening with a flow on God's will which is called destiny.
Pl dont confuse the people.there no will of God ... What human being should do or not God never will..He does not care also.because the human beings are not his favourite creature.swami do social life..That means ur young ,u should become a father of children...That is the will of God,, other wise it is a big violation of God will

There's no god who is free to do whatever it wants. This corner of existence is governed by natural law. It's all cause and effect.
So the 1st cause would have been??
@@sandeepshukla7560 There's no "first cause". Reality is infinite.
@@wthomas7955 u still don't understand, stuck in Duality cause & effect theory. Ultimately there's no cause effect. Everything is happening with a flow on God's will which is called destiny.
Pl dont confuse the people.there no will of God ... What human being should do or not God never will..He does not care also.because the human beings are not his favourite creature.swami do social life..That means ur young ,u should become a father of children...That is the will of God,, other wise it is a big violation of God will
