indeed.  Wu/Mu is the correct answer to such questions.

It's the correct answer to this particular question as well, regardless of your
beliefs:  there'd be no need for free will in heaven, because you're in Heaven
for crying out loud!!  Heaven/Nirvana/whatever, you're there! no need for
endless argumentations with strangers about your reasons, no need to disagree
for the sake of disagreement, no tribal wars over some irrelevant material
needs:  just enjoy your perfect comunion with the divine, hope you like your
stay!
