ancient_paztriot Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Syamasundara dasa: Kierkegaard sees self-realization arising out of the expression of the will. The more self-realized a person is, the more will he has. When we are fully ourselves, we are fully willed, and able to make the proper decisions. Srila Prabhupada: But if you are part and parcel of the whole, you have to take decisions from the whole. You cannot make the decisions. A finger does not make decisions for the entire body. The only decision you can make is the decision to serve Krsna. The orders come from the superior. Arjuna was ordered by Krsna to fight, and at the conclusion of Bhagavad-gita, he decided to abide by Krsna’s will or not. Krsna or His representative makes all the other decisions. Syamasundara dasa: then what is the meaning of full will? Srila Prabhupada: Full will means to surrender fully, to follow absolutely the orders of the Supreme.
