Ultimately, of course. But do you see how that line of thinking could taken to the degree of not helping those in need, because "it's their karma"? I know people who say they'd walk away from such a situation, so as "not to interfere."
Okay, so, if you see some people starving, would you not help? With the reasoning that interfering with a murder, attack, what-have-you, would be to control free will, is it not the same with starving people? Is it not their free will to choose starvation?
For my part, I would help the starving people. Is that controlling them? I see the point of choice, but there is also what falls in your path. If you come across a situation, any situation, do you just allow whatever to happen as though you are not even here at all? Do you not answer a call for help? After all, that is what Ra and other advanced entities are doing, answering a call for help.

It does not mean one gives away their power (direction of will) to another(s).
Hence, the disciplined personality knows who they are and why they are here. While accepting the free will of others, they remain unwavering in their beliefs in which to act with integrity and purpose (service to others).
Great way to address the (seeming) conflict. I think a key here, is what one is attached to. If a person is attached to the outcome, that would be controlling. If they are just acting on their own "integrity and purpose," it is service to others.
