Scope of Free-will

Digest 00166C: Why Is Our Free-Will Infinitesimal?

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: Why is our free-will infinitesimally smaller compared to the Supreme free-will?

Answer by Romapada Swami: Because we are infinitesimal. The Lord is vibhu, or Great, whereas we are anu, or tiny. Just as a drop of ocean contains much of the same chemicals as the ocean does but in minute quantity, similarly, as minute parts and parcels of the Infinite Lord, we possess in minute quantities all the qualities of the Lord, one of them being His Supreme free-will or independence.
