Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 You are saying that there is no free will and that there is no predestination either. Both are concepts. Why not just be? Precisely! That is very well put! About predestination and free will, when do the questions arise? Who brings up those questions? The individual brings up those questions, but when you see the impersonality of the whole thing no questions can arise. If you see things from the individual viewpoint, problems can never cease. But as soon as you see the impersonality of the whole functioning, no problems can arise. Conversations with Ramesh S.
