Certainly there is conditioning, but to believe at any moment we do not have free will is an illusion.
We should be so grateful for the realisations come about from the miserable reactions of sinful life.  These realisations like rungs on a ladder.  we cannot burn the ladder until we each a higher taste.  Prabhupada said to a wine addict who tried to enter the temple one late night early morning , the wino was surprised to see everyone singing and chanting at such an hour.  Prabhupada surprised some when he didnt tell the man to stop drinking wine.  He told the man "think of krsna when you drink wine from now on.  soon you will lose a taste for wine"

Mihir, I believe you are correct what you said in earlier post ," it is a matter of identification".    We are not the enjoyer , not even the doer but the observer.  What we have seen serves us , if we forget it  we are destined to repeat. 

it is important to remember what is sweet in the biginning becomes bitter in the end .   do not see the disguise of enjoyment , only see that we are separating Sita from Ram when we engage in sense gratification . 

there is only the eternal now, these ideas of past and future  are in the mind.  if we meditate on the eternal now then we simply notice these things and either action needed or not.  No need to worry about the past no action will ever be needed regarding the past. 

aspiring service,
