Acharya Prashant addresses the common misconception that life's events are predetermined and that humans are mere puppets of the Divine. He explains that what we perceive as 'events' are actually the meanings we project onto them based on our own ego and past conditioning. Events themselves have no objective existence; they are interpreted through the lens of personal gain or loss. For instance, the rising sun means different things to a bird, grass, or a thief. Therefore, events are 'predetermined' only in the sense that our past conditioning dictates how we will react to and interpret them. If one remains identified with their past and their physical circumstances, they remain a slave to time and destiny.
