The difficult thing about building a personality is that, most of the time, one has the feeling of being driven by circumstances, fulfilling inevitable obligations, and not exercising free will. Because of this, one lives without giving due weight to one’s actions, and does not view routine as the consequence of a personal choice. Undoubtedly, this is the greatest psychological advantage of sadhus and sannyasis: by burning all material ties, they can no longer feel compelled to do anything, nor forced by anyone. But one does not need to be so radical to realize that, after all, personal growth comes with responsibility, and this implies the awareness that, at all times, it is possible to choose.
