You need clarity. Vedanta and Neuroscience both deny free will—just through different doors. Right action is choiceless. You don’t choose the Truth, it flows through you. True observation is not doing—it’s your very nature. You suffer because you think you’re the doer. Consciousness is the only real freedom. Everything else is compulsion. If pleasure demands unconsciousness, is it worth it? Music Credits: Milind Date ~~~
