Hindu dharma accepts both predestination and free will (karma) as valid. Karmic doctrine holds that a person who has a "sense" of doership is responsible for his actions, both good and bad. But it is also believed that after intense spiritual practice an aspirant's mind can reach a level of purity that can eventually cause him or her to lose their sense of agency. At this point, predestination takes over completely.

Bhagavad Gita 3:27

"The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by the three modes of material nature."

Bhagavad Gita 3:35

"It is far better to discharge one’s prescribed duties, even though faultily, than another’s duties perfectly. Destruction in the course of performing one’s own duty is better than engaging in another’s duties, for to follow another’s path is dangerous."

Bhagavad Gita 6:29

"A true yogi observes Me in all beings and also sees every being in Me. Indeed, the self-realized person sees Me, the same Supreme Lord, everywhere."

Bhagavad Gita 6:30

"For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me."

Bhagavad Gita 7:26

"O Arjuna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come. I also know all living entities; but Me no one knows."

Bhagavad Gita 9:6

"Understand that as the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, rests always in the sky, all created beings rest in Me."

Bhagavad Gita 11:33

"Therefore get up. Prepare to fight and win glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyasaci, can be but an instrument in the fight."

Bhagavad Gita 11:33

"Everywhere are His hands and legs, His eyes, heads and faces, and He has ears everywhere. In this way the Supersoul exists, pervading everything."
