FATE
and DESTINY:
Question: Do you believe in fate or destiny? Answer: First of all do not believe in any one or anything. If you do, then your intellect is finished and you will be carrying what you do not understand for the rest of your life.
What is fate or destiny? Hinduism has authentic answers. One is born with a mind with some instincts and engravings carried over from previous births. The birth itself is because of the pending issues engraved in the mind. So with that mind, if one starts living then he will reach scenarios where his instincts and engravings in mind are interested in. In simple language, a male with sexual interest in mind will reach before his dream girls. Or someone who likes to eat may reach the choice restaurants. Now he can realize the dreams in mind legally, illegally, with the other person's consent or by force. Now you have satisfied the desire in mind. Is the game over? Not yet. You may want to do it again ! Thus you get into another groove. Lets say child is born out of this relationship. Now it is your responsibility to protect that child. You need a house and job. You keep those who will protect your people as your friends. Now you are fully inside the life. It was all due to that engraving in your mind. This is called fate.
But you can change the destiny and not necessarily succumb to it or play along with. This needs a deep breath and hard decisions, if required ! For example, you may realize that the female that suits best to your dreams is actually not interested in you ! Now you can either deface her or Kill her fiancee like the Taliban ! Or you can keep your feeling to yourself and wish her a good life with no negative feelings in mind. It all depends on your intellect and culture of mind. Then your destiny changes. You changed it all by yourself because you realized consciously that the situation needs a better resolution than your personal feelings. Now you are trying to get over your own mind. You may slip and fall, get hurt, feel frustrated, irritated and ashamed. But if your intellect is firm that you took the right decision, slowly you will master your own mind. Otherwise the mind will master you. If you win your mind, then you can go beyond fate. if you cannot refuse the mind, then you have accepted the fate.
One tip: Those who are resigned to the fate are slowly floating towards the waterfall of death. Those who decided to give a challenge stand the chance of reaching eternal life. They live more intensely and passionately. The best experiences await them. They may look like failure in conventional good life theories. But they have intense minds which give them more real experiences. Those who win the mind become visible as Masters with love in the eyes, peace on the face and a smile on the lips. That is the evidence of mastering the mind and beating the destiny by hard work.
Always ask yourself the questions. And get answers yourself. Do not accept ready made answers from wise guys. But do it without informing everyone else around and get into debates. Leave others alone. Osho, whom I rate as the most complete Master so far born on earth has a simple path to the ultimate knowledge. When we see an object, we actually do not see it completely. While looking at that object, other thoughts come into mind and obscure the object. Thus when we get to see an object completely we have learned how to see properly ! Otherwise we are glossing over many things which may not interest us. But we do not see anything completely. . Osho says "Look at a tree and try to see that tree only in your mind. If other thoughts come, concentrate and try over and over again. When you see the tree only in your mind and you can see it for any length of time without any other thoughts disturbing that view, you have learned the truth !" It is that simple. But needs practice.
When you ask yourself, the ready made answers will try to smother you. You need an independent sharp intellect to dissect through the crap and reach the truth. Also one may get tempted to accept prejudged answers. that also is wrong. Use the intellect even if it is giving a not very clear reply, it is your original lesson learned all by yourself. Best wishes
