When conscious is not at work sub concious or antar mann is wat is at work. And we have framed our subconscious according to our free will. A friend of mine told me one of the stories of mullah nassarudhin. Once a man came to him asking abt fate n free will. He said to the person can u stand on one leg. The person immediately folded his one leg. he again asked the person can u fold ur second leg too. > What is the dividing line which frees you from past actions to make you > responsible for the present actions? > One will be responsible for watever one does unless that work is done without any attachments ( enlightented person) .
