Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 63

 Chapter 18 verse 63               

“Thus, I have explained to you this knowledge that is more secret than all secrets. Ponder over it deeply, and then do as you wish.” 

The laws of karma dictates that an individual is the sum total of their past karma, inherent vasanas, present action and a dollop of God’s grace which orchestrates all of this play of the character in the material world. Arjuna life does not have boundless possibilities. However he is not bereft of “free will” at the present moment partially conditioned by his past and current vasanas but he does have that choice at the present moment. Bhagawan has given him all he could in terms of advice and now implores on his to make a choice at the present moment. What choice will he make? What choices are we making at every moment of our lives? We should know that every moment is afforded to us by the grace of God and almighty and we shouldn’t be throwing it away.
