Upvoted. There's a book called The Soul of the Marionette, and one of the ideas the author shares is that the Gnostics were looking not for "freedom of choice" but for "freedom from choice", which ties in with the Hindu concept of Isvara Pranidhana or surrender to the will of the divine, which BKS Iyengar emphasizes is not the same as "doing what you think God wants".
