[QUOTE="Amarpal, post: 99729, member: 10"] Dear akal_jsingh Ji, I am not answering your mail following the contours of your post, but in my own way. I am going to share with you my response to your basic question of your post. ‘Is There Any 'Choice' in God's Creation? Creation has choices, plenty of them. ‘The Sat’ has not fixed us in a fixed frozen matrix. We are the instrument of ‘The Sat’, the guardians of the creation of ‘The Sat’. ‘The Sat’ has given us all the sense organs - Gyanendriyas, the mental faculties in the functioning brain and the organs to act - Karmendriyas. What else is needed, the application of all these to advance the will of ‘The Sat’. What is the will of ‘The Sat’ – it is perpetual evolution is all the fields that in the creation of ‘The Sat’. The proof is right in front of you. From the insentient material grew the primitive life form, from these primitive life form grew plant and animal kingdoms. Humans evolved progressively to meet the challenges that life made them face, from an animal walking on four limbs we evolved to walk on two limbs. After the need of physical form were perfected humans developed the capabilities of the brain, we all know that the frontal cortex of the brain is relatively recent addition to brain. The process of development and evolution is continuing and will continue in future also. Nothing of this sort would have happened unless ‘The Sat’ wanted it to be so. Development and evolution implies protection and preservation of what is already achieved. Putting these together the will of ‘The Sat’ is protection, preservation, evolution and development. We humans being on the top of entities constituting the creation of ‘The Sat’ have all the freedom to select among the options available, including the option of not participating in the will of ‘The Sat’. You and I have absolute freedom of choice in the creation of ‘The Sat’; sky is the limit for you and me. This is so because we know that ‘The Sat’ is within us and our body is only an instrument of ‘The Sat’. What we do, ‘The Sat’ guides us; it never interferes with our freedom to chose and act. We invite interference through our Karmas, and thus get limited. Through thoughts we are connected to ‘The Sat’ and thus to the entire creation. When we understand the mechanics of this linkage then we acquire the capability to draw from the entire resources of the creation i.e. from ‘The Sat. It is my considered view and now a conviction that there is no limit to our mental capabilities. The limitations come from our physical capabilities and interferences come from our Karmas. Our freedom to choose is unlimited. But because of being limited physically we cannot select all the option at one time or in one life. Because the Karmic cycle impacts on us and causes difficulties, we cannot achieve the results instantaneously, it takes time. With this I close the post. With love and respect for all.
