Query:
Is there any way we can Change our Destiny? I want to know if everything is Predetermined
then what the meaning of doing Hard Work?
Vijay
Kumar: Brahmin or no Brahmin... in the
field of pure spirituality one is not distinguished by religion, faith, belief or caste! You fail to understand the
basic rudiments of spirituality. Why? You follow the path of religion... path of rituals! The crux of destiny laid
in spirituality... never religion! Unless you learnt to distinguish between religion and spirituality you would not
truly understand the gist of life!
If you truly desire manifesting destiny... you have to travel path of pure spirituality...
not religion! In present times religion carries no meaning. None can reach God via path of religion... path of
rituals. God Almighty can only be reached via path of spirituality... path of jnana yoga (absolute
wisdom)!
Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana... the
two spiritual stalwarts who gained enlightenment in the last about 150 years' world over initially started
their search for God through path of bhakti yoga! Finally they switched to path of jnana yoga (path of
absolute wisdom)! In present times God Almighty can never be reached via path of bhakti yoga
alone!
Control of destiny always lay in hands of human beings yet, the bickering of human beings
over control of destiny never stops! Why blame God Almighty for karma performed by us! Karma acts as accountant
general of cosmic system... keeping details of minutest action indulged by human beings! In the whole cosmic system
karma is governing.
Our future directly results from karma performed by us in immediate past or previous
manifestations! Intelligent as human beings are... God Almighty obscured a portion of karma from manifesting itself
at the time of birth of body! This portion of karma... termed Prarabdha karma can manifest immediately... few days
after or many manifestations henceforth.
Whatever our destiny... everything results from karma performed by us in past or previous manifestations! In the
domain of God there never are free lunches. As we sow so shall we reap says the law of karma! We just cannot expect
mangoes to grow on a guava tree! If we suffer in present life... all results from karma performed by us in
past!
In the field of pure spirituality... date of birth carries no meaning! It is karma that rules
the roost! As per Bhagavad Gita if a Brahmin indulges in activities of a lower order... one shall be called a
shudra. As per Bhagavad Gita it is our character and karma that decides our social order of life... not the caste
we are born in!
If a shudra on other hand indulges in pious activities of highest order... one shall be
treated equivalent of a Brahmin. How many Brahmins understand this true fact of life... prime reason why in present
times shudra dominate the society! We just cannot discard a shudra based on caste. In the house of God all are
equal... every shudra has a right to visit a temple ... Read scriptures... contemplate on them!
Whatever your karma of past... one can always undo the past it by indulgence in positive karma all the time! If we
are born at karmic index of -47, then we need to earn 47 marks to neutralize the bad affects of negative karma from
previous manifestations! As human beings have a total of 1.1 million manifestations to live before they gained
enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... we have a long way to go to earn 47 marks.
It may be many lives... many manifestations before we neutralized our bad karma... prime
reason why we might suffer all the time. As we do not know at what karmic scale we stand today between karmic scale
of 7.300001 and 8.400000... It is but imperative that we continue indulgence in positive karma all the time! The
fruits of karma performed may not become immediately available... prime reason for our frustration in present
life?
As per Bhagavad Gita every human being must indulge in karma nishkama karma way... Never
caring for fruits of karma performed! Why? As per Bhagavad Gita journey of life truly belongs to our soul atman and
never the human form. Our soul atman... the spirit within is the absolute master and controller of human body and
not vice versa!
It is not within the capability of a human body to manifest a soul atman! As our soul atman is the absolute master
and controller of human body... fruits of karma performed always belonged to our soul atman... and never the human
form! Prime reason why a human being is always a trustee in the journey of life!
If we truly analyze the facts we shall arrive at one conclusion... why Tata Empire is among
the most prestigious of all Indian institutions! As per JRD Tata... every human being is but a trustee of God
taking care of things bid by God Almighty! Throughout his life JRD Tata lived as a true trustee of God... never
calling anything his own!
As per JRD Tata... a true karma Yogi par excellence... God Almighty is the absolute owner of
all things manifest! Human beings only manifest material riches for 70 to 80 years of earthly sojourn! Bhagavad
Gita of Hinduism is absolutely clear on this point. Whom we call our father in present life may have been my wife
in one of the previous manifestations!
No doubt human form is the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle... yet, the sole master of human life always
remains God Almighty... truthfully our soul atman... the spirit within! Yet, every human being has been ordained
with that special power of discrimination that distinguishes us from animals. Mounted with this power of
discrimination human beings manifested destiny!
As a young child six years of age I had a deep-rooted desire to know God! A villager... born
in an average family I would have been very happy if I learnt ABCD ever in my life! So was my thinking when I was
young! If by chance I became a schoolteacher... it would be the greatest gift of God to mankind... to me personally
was my thinking!
How this village lad in spite of all hindrances of daily life finally succeeded in reaching
God in 1993 at 37 years of age is not the point... what concerns is how destiny came into control of Vijay Kumar.
In the initial stages of my life I realized I had to take control of five senses and mind if I ever wanted to over
smart karma... take absolute control of it!
The moment I started establishing control over five
senses and mind... I felt more and more confident day by day! It was as if God Almighty was assisting me
directly from above. I saw to it that I never indulged in bad karma... negative karma ever! Following path of
absolute truthfulness always and ever became my habit.
Mounted with power of absolute truthfulness... having absolute faith in God Almighty I
finally started taking control of destiny! At times I could see what lay ahead. My karma of past gave me
reflections of coming future! Sometimes I could truly see the future! By intelligently carving the present karma...
one can definitely mould the future!
At no stage of life... life is ever predetermined! Destiny and free will always lay in
control of mankind! By following path of absolute truthfulness... by hearing sweet small inner voice of my soul
atman I finally manifested destiny... took absolute control of life! Destiny is never predestined as many say but
manifesting destiny demands highest level of perfection that can ever be practiced by human beings!
