The neuroscientist Micheal Egnore , who is also a practising surgeon , writes on the topics of free will and free won’t , you may be familiar with free will but…. free wont ?

But extraordinary as it might sound , this kind of thinking and discussion parallels some the talks , that Krishna had with Arjuna in  thd Bhagavad Gita . That due to bad habits or previous connections , in previous lives  , we are forced to act by the material energies in certain ways , almost beyond our control , but Krishna says , by education,  association and practice,  we can learn to practice ”  free won’t ” means , my body and mind are attracting  me to do something  , but , but I won’t listen , because therd is going to be an outcome that ultimately will not be in my best interests . The founder of ISKCON Srila Prabhupada said in one purport ,” the devotee is very expert at ignoring his mind.”

By such practice of controlling mind and senses,  it is medically proved that the neurons begin firing differently, and the secretion of brain chemistry behaves differently , thus addiction and craving subside.

Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur, a famous and prolific teacher of Vedic philosophical matters , tells we , as spiritually minded persons,  have two bodies , the influences of the former life , and the influences of this lifd  , if we could see the quantum and ethereal planes , we would see clouds of influences ready to move our psychological movements and senses in particular ways , things the astrologers can pick up in astrological readings . So the current body along with its associated energies , is one body , and the newly forming spiritual body , depending on how much we form it , what’s referred to as Sadhana practice and Ragganuga practice , in thd Vedas . Namely ,  the  forming of a mentally conceived spiritual form , our original pure spiritual and spiritual senses can be developed .

Thus, the phrase “the science of self realisation ” has many connotations .
