Thanks for the story. The discussion in Gita satsangh never ends. So

it is legitimate for you to open up any of the earlier slokas, when

you have something definite to say.

 

Your point about 'Not a leaf moves without His Will' is the point

about Sloka 10. But that is what exactly we, as ordinary human

beings, sometimes (and most of us, very often) tend to forget!

Thanks.

A lucid explanation of Free-will and Fate based on a conversation

between His Holiness Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamigal, the then

Sankaracharya of Sringeri and a disciple was posted by Shri Sunder

Hattangadi sometime ago.

 

Worth checking out in this context..

Namaste,

 

I take a scientific look and realise there is no time, so how can

there be freewill? There is the illusion of a lifetime where karma is

set up for subsequent lives. However we cannot change or effect what

has already happened therefore there is no freewill to action only to

our attitude to the actions........ONS....Tony.
