Similarly, "being in tune with the laws of nature" really means "being willing to give up the right to think for yourself." Life is so much easier when you get the definitions right, and ours are right. ------Actually, human volition spans every moment and all human work within limitations, for instance, Turq, your lack of ability to respect a pundit or their tradition. My guess is they would say they really chose their life if you had the privy to ask one. However, in one way you are correct, and that is, that a pundit, just as any shaman, will give up the result of their rite for the benefit of the sponsor. This is why pundits are also priests and not just spirit-captives as some love to imagine. (As for TM Pundits nobody can say- and without any checks and balances anything goes really). And what that means is that they do have to at that moment of samkalpa they have to be "...willing to give up the right to think for yourself." And in so doing, the benefit is passed onto the giver of the divodasha.
