314. Omniscience and Free Choice - Daily Dose of Wisdom

There are those who are unable to proceed with life because they have concluded that everything is just fate. We are always thinking in terms of a cause and an effect, that there is a world which is being run and a G-d that runs it. Therefore, we imagine there is no room for free choice --since He calls all the shots.

But for Him there is no such dynamic. There is no cause because there is nothing to cause, no effect because there is only Him. Whatever happens is Him and our free choice is also Him.

In our world there is free choice. In His, there is only Him. You continue living in your world and leave His up to Him.
