This brochure from Project Naad explore where Sikhi sits on the spectrum of "everything is already determined" vs "its all up to me".
Here's a summary of its key points:
- Sikhism supports the soft determinist viewpoint, that most of our actions are free and the rest are determined
- Our actions are free but we are still subject to the Will of God which is the Divine Law found in nature, including Law of Karma, action and consequence
- Our own desires and past actions (Karma) pre-determines and pre-ordains our destiny
- By great good fortune we realise this chain of action and consequence (Karma)
- Through freewill we chose our true destiny as a human being, which is realising God within ourselves. We chose to love God and do good actions of meditation, sharing and honesty that give us God consciousness
