שָׁמַעְתִּי שֶׁאִישׁ אֶחָד שָׁאַל אוֹתוֹ: כֵּיצַד הוּא הַבְּחִירָה, הֵשִׁיב לוֹ בִּפְשִׁיטוּת: שֶׁהַבְּחִירָה הִיא בְּיַד הָאָדָם בִּפְשִׁיטוּת, אִם רוֹצֶה עוֹשֶׂה, וְאִם אֵינוֹ רוֹצֶה אֵינוֹ עוֹשֶׂה.

I heard that someone asked Rebbe Nachman about the nature of free will. The Rebbe responded matter-of-factly, that free will is in a person’s hands, simply: If he wants, he does, and if he doesn’t want, he doesn’t do.

וְרָשַׁמְתִּי זֹאת, כִּי הוּא נִצְרָךְ מְאֹד, כִּי כַּמָּה בְּנֵי־אָדָם נְבוּכִים בָּזֶה מְאֹד, מֵחֲמַת שֶׁהֵם מֻרְגָּלִים בְּמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם וּבְדַרְכֵיהֶם מִנְּעוּרֵיהֶם מְאֹד, עַל־כֵּן נִדְמֶה לָהֶם שֶׁאֵין לָהֶם בְּחִירָה, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, וְאֵינָם יְכוֹלִים לְשַׁנּוֹת מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם. אֲבָל בֶּאֱמֶת אֵינוֹ כֵן, כִּי בְּוַדַּאי יֵשׁ לְכָל אָדָם בְּחִירָה תָּמִיד עַל כָּל דָּבָר, וּכְמוֹ שֶׁהוּא רוֹצֶה עוֹשֶׂה.

I recorded this because it is crucial. Many people are very perplexed by this. Having become creatures of habit, following the same old patterns of behavior since childhood, people think that they no longer have any free will, God forbid, and that they are incapable of changing the way they act. In fact, this is not the case. For without a doubt, every individual has free will—always, and in all matters. A person does what he wants!
