How much control does God have on you?

A man asked Ali(A.S.), cousin of Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W.W.):

“How much authority do I have on myself and how much authority does God have over me?”

Ali(A.S.) replied:

“Lift your leg.”

He did. Ali(A.S.) said:

“This is your authority. Now lift your other leg too.”

The man replied, “I can’t. I’ll fall down.”

Ali(A.S.) said, “This is God’s authority.”
