's there such thing as free will? - 31 May 1967 Is freedom partial? Why should I be bound to destiny? Born in India with the tremendous culturaltraditions, why should I be caught in it? Man is more important than the frame into which he is put. Is it possible for a human being to free himself from society, psychologically? Human beings have to change, and will thought change us? Man is society, has created the society in which we live. Are you influenced to change from outside or do you change from yourself? To change according to a pattern is no change at all.'
