Above Question has been troubling many of us. some say we are quite free to do whatever we want, others say we are only free to do our duty (dharma)assigned by God and to try to attain moksha (liberation) and we enjoy Artha and kaama (wealth and material enjoyment)due to our fate only and not by effort. others say we are puppet of god only. others say we have some freedom that misleads us to do wrong actions and create new karmas. may be you have some discussion on this subject before that i missed.

Shree Hari Ram Ram

Every human being has total freedom to realize God. Rather no one is dependent on anyone to realize God. Swami Ramsukhdasji

Man does not have the freedom of choice in the situations and circumstances that come his way. Nor is he free in eliminating or avoiding these situations and circumstances. He is free to choose between being happy or unhappy in the situations and circumstances that come his way. He is also free to choose in not indulging in enjoyments. This choice of being happy and unhappy is entirely upto man. Man is free, capable and empowered in making these choices. Swami Ramsukhdasji

Freedom is - not considering anything as ours. Swami Ramsukhdasji
