[QUOTE="drkhalsa, post: 14038, member: 384"] Dear Khalsa ji here I would like to share a conversation of one of the enlightened soul about the topic it really helped me understanding this point of free will and it goes well with gurmat [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=darkred]‘Free choice?’ I interrupted in surprise.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]‘Indeed, it is only our free choice which creates conflicts in our[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]lives; and conflicts are responsible for deterioration. By free choice we[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]begin to build up handicaps and complications which we are forced to[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]drive out one by one if we are to make our way towards truth.’[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]‘Then we should despair, according to you, just because we have[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]been given the faculty of free choice? Would it be better if we were as[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]the animals, which simply follow their dark fate and do not know what[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]free will means?’[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]‘Not at all. Only the unintelligent mind exercises choice in life.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]When I talk of intelligence I mean it in its widest sense, I mean that[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]deep inner intelligence of mind, emotion and will. A truly intelligent[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]man can have no choice, because his mind can only be aware of what[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]is true and can thus only choose the path of truth. An intelligent mind[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]acts and reacts naturally and to its fullest capacity. It identifies itself[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]spontaneously with the right thing. It simply cannot have any choice.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]Only the unintelligent mind has free will.’[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Just to make a point clear here that word intelligent used here is not in traditional sense but intelligent is used for elightened sould ( one with god)[/COLOR] Jatinder Singh [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
