Question: Are my desires predetermined by the Creator? Right now, I am acting on my intentions. Are these intentions mine, or do they also come from the Creator?

Answer: There is nothing of “you” within you. This applies to all of us; everything comes from the Creator.

Sometimes the Creator places very unpleasant situations in our path so that later we will realize they were actually good and in this way learn from them.

But when we judge our past actions and suffer greatly because of them, these too are the actions of the Creator passing through our desire, through our egoism. We merely feel what the Creator is doing to us and accumulate these impressions.

Question: When a person turns directly to the Creator, does that mean he is actually turning to his own egoism?

Answer: Of course. But even that is good. In reality, a person is talking to himself while projecting some image before him.
