Ramana Mahasrishi description- a cow with a rope around its neck.The cow can move within the limitations of the rope and thinks that's his free will.
My description- the movement of the earth at its poles.In the circle it makes it wobbles,this wobbling is also destined which we think is free will due to our ego.


OK. I'd just like to say that we're all agreed on it being a bit of both. My take is however that it's only at certain key times in your life that fate really takes over. Please have a look at "Life Cycles" and my profile to get the story. I actually maintain we have a lot more free will than we imagine. Probably 80% rather than 20% or 50%. But if we look at the whole of our lives, there is undoubtedly a distinct pattern. Love to hear more views. After all we're all in this living business together,
Neil.
