he Auestion of God8s will and free will is very tiresome15n a sense there is no simple answer, both in a way areright1

here is nothing in creation that happens without the willof the .ord, and it is our ideal as satsangis to understand ,and surrender gracefully to, God8s will1

2ut God8s will can never be a 3usti&cation for succumbingto our weaknesses1 God8s will is of a nature that is beyondour comprehension 1 5t is mysterious and 9ows from the highest level1:adly, because of ignorance, we all too easily interpret ata physical level what is subtle and cannot be

interpreted 1$nd in egotism we do it to suit ourselves15f we were to see clearly the raBors edge on which wewalk, we would realise this approach is not in ourinterests1

$t the human level at which we live, it is our free will, ourability to recogniBe right from wrong, that distinguishes usfrom all other species12y eercising our choice, and supporting those choices

through daily meditation, we can grow towards God andwe come to understand the meaning of living in God8s will

5f we do eercise this ability to our advantage, then canwe even consider ourselves human beings , $nd if we donot &rst become human how can we think of reuniting withthe .ord1 2aba3i
