The Free Will expressed by the Judeo-Christian Scriptures is exactly the same as what the Hindus express as Divinity. For Hindus, to have Divinity is simply to say that one has Intellect and Free Will (which produce intelligent emotion, and hence, that is also part of Divinity). Likewise, what is meant in the Torah, or the Biblical OT, by "Image of God" is that humans possess an intellect and free will. According to Genesis, we are made in the Image and Likeness of God. Why two distinct descriptions of what seems to be the same thing: "Image" and "Likeness"? Because the two words refer to different thinsg. All things that exist bear a likeness to God. A rock, a tree, a bear, a star, and angel, a demon, a fish, an amoeba, a computer, a blanket, etc. All things have likeness to God. Not all things, however, bear the Image of God, that is, not all things bear divinity, or Intelligence/Free Will. Hence, the meaning behind that affirmation in Genesis is that, like all things, we share a likeness to God (ie, we have existence, or we are good, or we are beautiful, etc...) but also we bear the image of God (ie, we can think, are self-aware, freely choose, are capable of love, can discern beauty, etc...).
Some might argue, then why are we said to have Human Nature, while God has Divine Nature? Don't you, by asserting that humans have Divinity, also assert that humans are Divine, or have Divine Natures? No. God has a Divine Nature because God is PURELY Divine. This means that the very essence, the very nature of what God is... is encompassed by the word, Divinity. God IS intellect and free will. The same cannot be said of us. We only bear that image, that is not what we are. We have Free will, and intellect, but we are also physical entities. I am not pure intellect and free will, but I am a freely willing creature who employs intelligence. My nature is Human, which bears divinity.
