What Choice Do We Have? ~ Essence of the Bhagavad Gita (Class 71, Verses 6:28-31)
It is a devotee's indifference that seems to hold the Lord at a distance. Nothing really happens outside the will of God but we, in our misguided ignorance, think that somehow we are the ones calling the shots. But in truth, the choice was never ours to make in regards to the circumstances and the tests we face. We can choose only to turn towards God or away.
