0:02 like is is there a free will we have or
0:03 not? And
0:05 >> all right this is a big question
0:07 question of free will from ancient times
0:09 till today it's being debated even in
0:10 this modern age with neuroscience and
0:12 all a new dimension has come into this
0:15 debate if you have read this book latest
0:17 publication which is making the rounds
0:20 determined Richard Sapolski
0:21 so he has come to the conclusion there's
0:24 no free will based on neuroscience
0:28 uh what does vanta say about it that um
0:30 there is no free will ultimately vanta
0:32 makes a very useful distinction between
0:34 transactional reality and ultimate
0:36 truth. So ultimately there's no free
0:37 will because it's only one consciousness
0:40 shining forth. But for practical
0:42 purposes when that consciousness is
0:44 associated not separated associated with
0:47 the mind and the body there is I will
0:50 say a transactional free will vaharika
0:53 which you call it. We assume free will
0:54 and operate in this world until we
0:56 realize there's no free will.
0:59 Enlightened person can work on the um
1:02 basis of no no free will but for us we
1:04 cannot. We are because we are so close
1:05 we are identified with the mind and one
1:07 characteristic of the mind is what is
1:09 called kartabhok the agentship.
1:12 Agentship assumes free will. Our society
1:15 assumes free will. Election is going on.
1:16 You will vote for this or that. Free
1:19 will is assumed. You go to a shopping
1:21 mall you buy will you will buy this or
1:25 that. Free will is assumed. religion
1:28 uh religion dos and don'ts uh free will
1:29 is assumed otherwise why teach religion
1:32 at all so free practically free will is
1:35 assumed ultimately they will say no free
1:37 will this is of course a huge topic
1:41 which we cannot go into much further but
1:43 um yeah I mean there's so much reading
