If everything is done by nature, what is the use of intellect?
Q : Namaste maa, Lord Krishna said everything is done by nature and egoistic person thinks himself the doer. If all is done by nature then what is the use of intellect?

Answer Well, your intellect too is part of the nature & this intellect comes in three varieties: sattvic, rajasic, tamasic. So you are going to behave according to the nature which you have created. Your social, family back ground & your upbringing, nurturing, each thing adds upon your nature & you are going to behave as per your conditioning and this conditioning of the mind is the nature. So it is not that you are a puppet of someone and it is not like that someone else is pull your string. You are what you have created of yourself; you are how you have been made off. These two things might look different but actually they are very much interconnected.
