Plz Explain the difference between Free Wil and Destiny?
Many times i get confused if everythng is already decided by krishna then what is our karma?
And if watever we r doing is our karma then why we say that everythng is controlled by Krishna?

thanks to all 4 making me undestand the mystery....
as it is mystery...it is still under confusion specially wen it comes to take any knid of decision...
I get confuse that watever i m gng to door watever is gng to happen..
is it coz of my free willl or destiny wants it to happen?
Thanks for such beautiful answers....
But confusion is still in my mind.....
Watever happens with us or watever we do, is that coz of our free will or our destiny?
Lets take an example...
Its said that every person's death is already decided by krishna at the time if one's birth...
So wen one commits suicide then why is it considered a crime?
if one commits suicide , is it counts in his/her free will or destiny?
Another Example...
If one elopes with his/her lover and do marriage against their parents' will...
then is it considered their free will or their destiny?
Please advice.....
Plz forgive me if i m wrong at some point......
pamho:agtsp;
i am trying to answer u'r questions below
Q. Watever happens with us or watever we do, is that coz of our free will or our destiny?
answer: destiny puts us in situation and with free will we desire and krishna provides necessary things if we desrve
example:
Its said that every person's death is already decided by krishna at the time if one's birth...
So wen one commits suicide then why is it considered a crime?
answer: Yes
if one commits suicide , is it counts in his/her free will or destiny?
answer: it counts in free will becuase his destiny created problems in life but he responded by commiting sucide which will make him more suffer (he will become ghost) he could have wait and do something else to come out of the situation.
e.g. we are driving in car on clif road suppose elephant comes we can turn car in wrong direction and dump ourself from clif or we can wait till elephant passes or take car in reverse direction or leave car and run in to dense forest.
Another Example...
If one elopes with his/her lover and do marriage against their parents' will...
then is it considered their free will or their destiny?
answer: person got environment (destiny) so caught in love affair but he can desire (free will) whether to choose parents or lover side.
mainly we need to purify our desire by associating with saintly person rest all done by krishna we only can desire.
to fall down we don't need to deserve (we are already on top) but to raise above we need to deserve like to jump from 10 th floor we don't need much efforts but in order to climb 10 floors we should climb step by step by taking supprt of earlier step means if we are on 1 st floor we can go to second floor and so on.

nilesh
