1: Do We Need to Take Responsibility for Our Actions?

Or do we blame destiny, fate or God?

In many scriptural writings like the Bhagavad Gita, we find emphatic writing that Bhagwan (God) alone is the supreme controller of all that happens, even our actions. We are powerless. Yet, in total contradiction, the very same scriptures declare that the individual soul is the doer and is responsible for all that happens in their life. In this talk Swami Govindananda reconciles these apparent contradictions to clear up any confusion you might have.
