Summary

This quote implies that while our will is not completely free, as it is influenced by causes and effects in the world, there is still an aspect of ourselves that possesses freedom. It suggests that beyond our conscious choices, there is a part of us that is autonomous and unrestricted. This could refer to our innermost essence or higher consciousness that transcends the limitations imposed by external circumstances, enabling true freedom of thought and action.
