"Because Krsna know everyone's future does not remove our free will. Someone may
commit a theft, and if I know that then I know that he will be captured and punished.
That is knowing his future, but know that future does not mean that he had no choice not
to commit the criminal act. There are two destinies for every one. One destiny is in.
Krsna Consciousness and the other destiny is in material consciousness, so if someone is
in Krsna Consciousness then Krsna knows his future and if he is in material consciousness
and acting in that way then Krsna also knows his future. In this way the free will is not
affected by knowing the future of the living being, that is an erroneous conclusion."
Letter to Madhudvisa, July 31, 1970
