How to live life - advaita way

Something from Ramesh Balsekar- an advaita master:

"The question of how to live one's life is really misconceived. As an
apparent entity man does not live his life but is BEING LIVED like a puppet on a
strings. All his attempts to "live his life" are nothing more than reactions to
impulses engendered by psycho-physical conditions over which he has no control.
All his supposed acts of volition are merely the fantasy of an artificial "me"
notion which believes it is leading its own life of its own "free will."
