यथास्वेनात्मनाऽऽत्मानं सर्वः सर्वासु योनिषु| प्राणैस्तन्त्रयते प्राणी नह्यन्योऽस्त्यस्य तन्त्रकः ||७७||

sanskrit

Thus, the ability to “cause” or “act” resides in the conscious and not in unconscious. The soul can independently enter any animate body. There is no other controller of soul, hence, it is considered a self controller. It is to said that the soul is free and independent to do its deeds but it is not free to get result of its deeds as per its own wish.
