Dear All,
"We are responsible for what we are"
"What we are now has been the result of our own past actions"
The above 2 lines are all about the results of our past actions in our previous births which we carry forward to this birth as sanchita karma which get fructified as our prapta or our prarabdha karma.
This has been extensively dealt under KARMA theme.
Also, How Karmas are done, how the impact of karmas get stored as impressions in our chitta etc., have been again dealt in great detail under MBCA theme.

"We are responsible for whatever we wish to be"
"Whatever we wish to be can be produced by our present actions"
"We have to know how to act"
These lines are about our purushartha or free-will or limited freedom which can be gradually expanded to unlimited free-will. These things have been explained in detail in the KARMA theme posts.

"We have the power to make ourselves"
At the highest level, this powerful mantra has to be experienced as:-
"WE HAVE THE POWER TO KNOW AND BE OUR TRUE SELF".
Dear All,
We, only we human beings, have this power to discover our true divine nature and then abide by that nature at the end of our spiritual journey.
That is what Sankara said - "Jantunaam Nara Janma Durlabham".
In the entire creation, it is the rarest and most precious opportunity to be born as human beings, bestowed with discrimination to know what is right and what is wrong, to choose the RIGHT path and to discard the WRONG path, pursue the RIGHT path with intense craving to reach the ONLY goal - God realization and at the end, merge with Lord and emerge as victorious.
JAYA VIJAYI BHAVA.
Love.
