Acharya Prashant explains that there is no dissonance between neuroscience and Vedantic philosophy regarding the absence of free will. Neuroscience demonstrates that physical processes in the brain originate before a person consciously experiences the urge to act, meaning the 'chooser' is an illusion. Vedanta similarly posits that the individual is not the doer or the chooser, but rather the observer. While all actions and thoughts are conditioned phenomena arising from the body and brain, the nature of the self is to observe this flow without engagement or participation. This observation is the key to freedom from suffering, as suffering arises from attachment and identification with conditioned actions.
