Instructions

A spirit that lives in this world and does not wear the shirt of love, such an existence in a deep disgrace.
Be foolish in love, because love is all there is.
There is no way into presence except through love exchange.
If someone asks, But what is love? Answer, dissolving the will.
True freedom comes to those who have escaped the question of freewill and fate.
Love is an emperor. The two worlds play across him. He barely notices their tumbling game.
Love and lover live in eternity. Other desires are substitute for that way of being.
How long do you lay embracing a corpse? Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.
Anything born in spring dies in the fall, but love is not seasonal.
With wine pressed from grapes, expect a hangover.
But this love path has no expectations. You are uneasy riding the body?
Dismount, travel lighter. Wings will be given.
Be clear like mirror holding nothing.
Be clean of pictures and the worry that comes with images.
Gaze into what is not ashamed or afraid of any truth.
Contain all human faces in your own without any judgment of them.
Be pure emptiness. What is inside of that? You ask. Silence is all I can say.
Lovers have some secrets they keep.

Question 20

How are the words "freewill", "fate" and "will" used in the poem above?

Solution

The poem explicitly mentions 'dissolving the will' and 'escaped the question of free will and fate', hence one can safely deduce that all the three words in question are used more or less synonymously. The three words arise in the context of answering the question 'what is love?', hence one can garner that one has to dump 'will', 'free will', and 'fate' to answer this question. Option A is further strengthened by - ' Be foolish in love, because love is all there is'.
