Breaking the Cycle: The Interplay Between Karma and Free Will
🌞 Karma has been produced because of free will. Divine Will does not produce any Karma, for Divine Will is non-binding. But free will can be binding, and there can be good Karma and bad Karma. They are binding because all Karma has nothing to do with the Spiritual Self of man, and Karma only has to do with man's mental self.
Free will means that you have thought power, and because of that thought power, you have the freedom to do what you like. That is free will. You decide on something, good or bad, and you do it; you do it because of free will. Karma does condition free will. For it is because of your past experiences in life and in previous lives that you can think in a particular manner. If your experiences and conditionings in life were such that it would make you think of doing good work today, of helping people, constructive work, then you would be doing productive work spontaneously. But if your condition is such that you do destructive things, then that is done spontaneously.
The Karmic reflections and workings of Karma are what we term free will. We can either do it through desperation or we could do it through spiritual practices. As I have said, open the window, and the fresh air must come in. Open the mind and allow the fresh air; let the Divine Will blow in. That is all. So simple.
