Everything is predetermined.
But a man is always free not to identify himself with the body, and not to be affected by the pleasures or pains consequent on the body’s activities.
Those alone who have no knowledge of the Source whence fate and freewill arise, will dispute which of them can conquer
the other. Those who have realized their Self, which is the Source of both fate and freewill have left such disputes behind,
and will have nothing more to do with them.
Success and failure are due to prarabdha karma, and not to willpower or the lack of it. One should try to gain equipoise of mind under all circumstances. That is willpower.
- GEMS from Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
