Destiny Re-Defined

Dear Friends,

15th August is the day that marks our Independence but along with this it also marks the era of re-defining the Destiny and fate creation.

Here I would like to make a request to new readers. You won’t enjoy reading this post until unless you have gone through previous posts. So to cater to enjoy the knowledge and bring some real changes in your life please read previous posts first. 

Anyway, I am here to take you little further from where I had left you in last post. So far we have learned that anything that is in scope of our understanding is called law, fact or science and mechanism otherwise magic. We have learned to use the term MAGIC OR WONDER when incidents or acts or happenings have very insignificant or no direct impact on our life. We also use these words when something pleasant happens to happen around externally to our environment.  Eg wondering about stars in the sky, a magician showing excellent magic trick etc. But when quite significant and relevant happens to our life and we tend to fail to understand the cause/reason behind these happenings, we humans have developed the habit of placing such circumstances in the frame of DESTINY OR LUCK. 

We humans have very complicated web of life. And we often have a lot of incidents or happenings in our life that goes beyond our understanding and control even. We have learned to call it destiny or luck specially when happenings are against our choices. I have seen that almost everyone leave more or less circumstances up to destiny. I think not more than 3-5% are there who reject the destiny theory.

Now the question is why do we do so? Do u believe in destiny or luck? Have you ever tried to think why do we leave everything up to destiny or luck quite often? People have become so obsessed with these words that they use these words very often to emphasize the situations they can’t handle and shift the blame to the unknown and play innocent. These destiny obsessed people most of the time blame God for their ill fate. These people have a conviction that there in nothing in their control at all. They are mere puppets in the game of life played to them and enjoyed by God. They believe that everything happening around the universe is happening because God is deciding to happen all in this way. The believe that anything good or bad happening to their life is happening because God want it that way. I am from India, and we have here a saying which is a major premise among such destiny obsessed people “Bhagwan ki marji ke bina patta bhi nhi hil sakta” (not even a single leaf can move without God’s wish).

How funny it sounds. I am writing this blog because God wants me to write it, and a lot will enjoy reading it, but there will also be a few who may not like it… why?  Because God wants many to like it and a few to not. It sounds really silly. Doesn’t it to you ??

Destiny obsessed people are very cleaver while blaming God for everything or making God responsible for their life. They know that the best entity to blame on is God. They know if they blame any person, he/she may revolt immediately and refuse to accept the blame. God can’t refuse and can’t revolt at all. So this is how God becomes imaginary culprit for majority.

I want to make here a very profound statement. The words destiny or luck have killed so many dreams of so many people in this world. These words have kept people deprived of experiencing the real spice of their beautiful lives. Look into your life and observe how often you have chosen these words to describe circumstances in your life. I can assure you every time if ever have you used the word destiny or luck to describe the situation, you have failed to recognize your tremendous powers and therefore missed the opportunity to grow.

My Dear Friends, let me take the opportunity to make you understand this destiny factor today. And it is really important to you.

Accepting anything as DESTINY OR LUCK has following consequences:

First – It instantly sets you free from any responsibility to search/look for the CAUSE Or TRUTH. Your mind enjoys freedom of feeding on a lie resulting into dangerous mind set (in upcoming days I will give you a complete insight on mindset development). By considering the unfavorable circumstances just a matter of luck you shift the blame factor to the shoulders of God or to others and become yourself  innocent. By doing so you gain an explanation to justify yourself right to your own mind and to the world as well. And associating anything with destiny has been a proven trick to avoid the responsibility or blame.

Second – Accepting responsibility is a courageous task. It needs guts and a lot of energy but it gives you the power to change yourself. Accepting responsibility make a lot of new options or choices available to you that can make you achieve the desired outcome. Taking responsibility for own life has always been one of the trademarks of leaders of the world. Accepting responsibility is what makes you the master of your life. And perhaps this is why legend Nelson Mandela was inspired by poetry of William Ernest Henley when he was in jail and fighting to change what others thought as their destiny. Mandela was convinced completely that ONLY he is the master of his fate. The poem INVICTUS ends with lines “I am the master of my fate and captain of my soul” . Mandela while being in jail used this poem as fuel to inspire him and change the future of the entire community. Perhaps he is the only reason to omit differences between blacks and whites.

Destiny obsessed people projects God as the master of their life. But as soon as you call your circumstances just the matter of luck, You loose the opportunity to change, you loose the opportunity to see new available choices. You cease to feed your mind with the real CAUSE and therefore miss the opportunity to grow. But the most dangerous loss is that you close the chapter related to particular situation permanently hence you close the doors to associated benefits permanently as well.
How you react to circumstances is all that makes the difference. And how you react it the outcome of your mindset. Being kicked out of first class train just for being with having a dark skin color can be act of fate decided by God for anyone but for another legend, now the Father of nation, for Mahatma Gandhi it was not just a matter of luck, for him it was the opportunity to take the responsibility for the circumstances prevailing back home in India. And now we all know the history. And we all proud Indians here today are just few hours away from celebrating our 70th Independence day on 15th August. Can you believe that Non-violence was his way to obtain Independence in the days of extreme violence? Wow!! Just imagine what the level of his mindset was!

Just for a moment think, what if Mahatma Gandhi had played the victim card for being born in ill fated country and his dark skin color as a matter of destiny?

We are here able to enjoy this day proudly just because someone on someday had refused to accept the circumstances as destiny. He believed in God and his creation but not the false destiny. He was extremely spiritual but not luck obsessed. He always believed in karma. Karma and destiny can not exist together. For karma to work, destiny must not exist. Don’t you think it make karma absolutely vague if there is pre-decided destiny.  Think it. Think rationally. Only humans have logical thinking. Use it and make it work for you.  I think all those who believe in God and karma can never believe in destiny or luck at all. Even quantum science has proved the fact that there is nothing like pre destined event at all. Every effect has a definite cause.  

Just read all the scriptures available in the world, not even single scripture endorses the luck or destiny. All those wonderful scriptures emphasize primarily on Karma. But still don’t know why and how we humans learned the word destiny. The word that exists in the dictionary only. In reality it represent just the unresourceful state of mind.

Third– The moment a situation appears is FIRST AND ONLY opportunity for you decide what to do with your choices, to play false victim to pre-decided false destiny or to become true master of your fate. Your choice of option is as a result of your mindset, and developing mindset is all in your scope of work. So to build a strong and correct mindset you need the knowledge and a strong commitment with immense hard work. My blog is the help I am trying to give you to obtain this knowledge in easy and interesting way.

Friends, on this beautiful day of 15th august, lets take the responsibility for anything and for everything we have done with ourselves and to our surroundings. Whatever the situation is only we are responsible for it. Whatever is happening out there is merely happening, whether will work for us or against us is all up to our understanding of the law of karma. And law says karma will never cease to show effect to every action. You just need to forget to play destiny card, take the situations/circumstances as the opportunity to show your skills and act.

For last two years I have learned to take responsibility for everything that happens to me or my life. It was the first and most important step I took. Taking responsibility is the 1st step you need to take before you start your journey into the awesome transformation. Once you take responsibility, a lot more options open up for you. So if you have gone through all posts I have put so far, you will observe that I have prepared you to take responsibility for you life. your real journey starts at the moment you take charge of your life.

Do you take responsibility for your life? Is it Yes !! Great !! So your journey to  transformation has begun just now. Welcome to this journey.
