Part X: Freedom.
That mean spirit should be avoided from a distance, who, relying on the
unseen Fate, attributes his conduct to the unreal and false idea of some
one necessitating it from behind. He is verily a beast, constantly in another’s
power, who thinks he goes to heaven or hell as God may will it.

necessity? That the Vedas speak of necessity is only for the enlightenment
of the ignorant.

useful line of action. The rest, even though as old as time, should be
overlooked, with the eye fixed on truth and truth alone.
Yogavasishtha.
