We have free will so we can change our karma, or our destination, for
the better.
Actually, our free will can be boiled down to two choices I have to
make in life - do I choose to remain in samsara, in order to gratify
my body and mind, or do I choose to surrender to Krishna?
The first choice leads to birth, disease, old age and death, and the
second choice leads to eternity, knowledge and bliss.
It's that simple. It's kind of a no-brainer.
Krishna says:
Work done as a sacrifice for Vishnu has to be performed; otherwise
work causes bondage in this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti,
perform your prescribed duties for His satisfaction, and in that way
you will always remain free from bondage. -Bg 3.9
