ABSTRACT

Al-Ash’ari, Ibana, 17 (10th century) 6 Held fast by your own natural action, what through delusion you seek not to

do, you shall do even against your will. Bhagavad Gita, 18, 60

7 Every human being has been given free-will. If he wishes to incline himself towards the good way and to be righteous, he is free to do so; and if he wishes to incline himself towards the evil way and to be wicked he is free to do that… Every individual is capable of being righteous like Moses or wicked like Jeroboam, wise or foolish, merciful or cruel, mean or generous.
