You ask, “if everything the that the body does and experiences happens in material nature – then what blame or glory is there for the soul?

Question: Is it that my destiny is written and fixed and I cannot shake it off? I am keen to understand the concept of free will and repaying karmic debt? It is fixed that you have already done certain deeds in your past. That cannot be changed. It is like a child who has picked [...]
