If we are tools in the hands of God, are not men free?

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on March 9, 2012 at 6:00pm

Man becomes free only when his individual will becomes merged in the Divine Will.
Licentiousness and autocracy must not be mistaken for spiritual freedom. By becoming a tool
(Nimitta) in the hands of God, the Bhakta destroys the egoism or the little false ‘I’, but gains all
the Divine Aisvarya or the Siddhis of the Lord. He becomes perfectly free. He has become one
with God now.

From "May I answer that" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
