Very well-digested and stated, indeed
But, there are rules for the functioning of the free-will as well
Some things like birth, marriage and death have no need of the free will to
cause them
But, in the case of other ordinary activities, there is this limited free
will
Of course, within the purview of the large field of helplessness as stated
by you

It is like a cow tied to a post by a rope.
In the case of ordinary activities, there is the limited free-will to the
extent of the length of the rope
Then, suppose the cow is going round and round the post grazing the grass
below its feet and around the post,
the length of the rope gets shorter and shorter until the cow can no more
move because the rope's length has been reduced so much
that it is held tight to the post near its neck.
Such is the zero free-will in the case of marriage, birth and death.

Similarly, the free-will gets enlarged as we more and more comply with the
commands of God
And, the free-will gets reduced as we more and more violate the commands of
God
Take for example, the Old Testament.
Suppose, you commit sins and violate the commands of God,
you will be scattered from your motherland and made to serve the foreigners
in their land subject to their prejudices
But, if you truly serve them for the sake of God,
then the Lord will gather you from where you were scattered
and put you back in your homeland and you will be more prosperous than your
ancestors.

Yours in God
RK Shankar
