Destiny Vs Free Will


What is guiding us ? Destiny or freewill ?
Kalavadins - Say time is responsible. No matter how hard you try unless time is ripe, you cannot achieve.
Brahamavadins - Say God is responsible for all that happens to us.
Swabhavadins - Say everything happens because of inner nature.
Karmavadins- Say everything is due to past karma.
Niyativadins - Say destiny defines everything. Whatever is to hapen will happen.!
Bhutavadis - Those who say everything happens because of material nature. Materialists!!
Akasmatvadis - Those who say everything is an accident!!
Purusharthavadins - Say everything is due to individual effort.
What is true ?
It seems that a combination of all the factors is responsible. Any external factor will predominate in a state of ignorance. Free will prevails in a state of awareness and knowledge.

  1. It seems that a combination of all the factors is responsible.
    Any external factor will predominate in a state of ignorance.
    ..Who guides us to get the right external factor when we are ignorant or in no control of happenings?

    Free will prevails in a state of awareness and knowledge.
    ..Many times equipped with sufficient awareness & knowledge we tend to fail due to external factors, what could have caused it?
