Precognition
Do you think
that precognition can restrict man's free will?
Precognition does not necessarily restrict man's free
will. It depends entirely on the wisdom-Light of the
one who has the knowledge of the future and on his capacity
to deal with the prediction. It may be helpful to have
the capacity to know the future, but one should not
pray to God to give him this capacity. One should pray
to God only for the fulfillment of His Will.
Is it good to
have a knowledge of the future?
To know the future is good only if you have patience,
faith and the wisdom to use this knowledge in the proper
way. Suppose you see that something discouraging, disheartening
and destructive is going to take place in your life
in the near future. Because you know in advance, you
have the opportunity to pray to God to avert the calamity.
On the other hand, if you see something good, divine,
inspiring, illumining and fulfilling is going to take
place in the near future, then you can start offering
your sincere gratitude to God, and also you can pray
to God to expedite this fulfilling manifestation. God
may listen to your prayers and accelerate the process
if He sees that you truly value His blessings.
So if God blesses you with inner vision or with the
capacity to know the future, then you have to utilize
it properly. There are people who have the vision, but
who are not wise enough to use it carefully. When they
predict disastrous future events, they create useless
and destructive fear in people, instead of inspiring
them to pray for protection or illumination.
