Destiny in other words is amenable to thought and right actions. It should not be construed as a curse fallen on mankind

The Hindu version of interpreting Destiny is directly correlated to an individual’s –Karma. (The good and bad things the person would have committed in his previous birth.) Even by scientific equivalence and thinking, an intelligent person need to concede its plain truth, and accept that personal attitude, approach towards life and values, one adopts during the course of a lifetime, decides ones destiny. The cumulative factors, precedent to actions, collective offerings compliments the agony and ecstasies of life.

The word Destiny may sound like a fertile imaginative thought, but by a closer study we can see a pattern, precedence, and a pathway. For a while stop in your tracks, and look at it- the monotonous realities of life as it unfolds itself signify - time, suffering, pain succession. This of course, lingers for a while and the pattern changes for good or worse. No human circumstance lasts forever. To defy and build resistance will only aggravate misery. Instead one has to live through the painful experience and come out of it.

Human Brain is an accepted, seat of intelligence. The ability to comprehend the most sensitive nature and subtle fineries of life and to perceive its implications by its roots apparently, - is its merited strength. But at times of frailty, some people choose what is improper. Often times consciously, decide on cold and wanton cruelty.

Criminals are born not by failure of intelligence, but essentially they supersede morality and convince themselves of a logic they think is more appropriate. With misconceived values desecrating their birth.

Conversely, poise men practice astuteness and still, fail to cross barriers and commit sinful deceit.

Human life must not harsher evil thoughts, insusceptible to good things of life, selfish motives ruling the very existence of Human life and should not get stuck in a whirlpool of damnation. To practice virtue one need not be a saint, the mere awareness of what is right and wrong and thoughtfulness of identifying oneself with GOD would resolve and do us good.

Actions are to be performed without expectations. Actions performed to achieve good bear’s ecstatic joy and happiness. The cause and the effect is not relative to an over riding ambition. The appraisal and the judgment are left entirely to the supreme force. But for the commoner the message is simple: What you sow is what you reap.

The Sinner do not have to wait for his next birth for reprisal, the cause and effect spares no time in giving him what he deserves but, the mind alone punishes him first with tormenting consequences and haunting guilt. Human brain is a chemical laboratory. Human brain is which maintains the biochemistry in delicate balance. Imagine how a troupe of ballet dancers performing in unison. Anyone loosing step and dithers would through the entire performance off balance. Similarly, brain chemistry could also go chaotic.

Human beings are not capable of absolute evil, but they have the ability to transform themselves to evil actions. They have both the sides of the nature. They only pick and choose. The superior soul within him is a clever spectator. He seldom interferes in his external forms and associate in peripheral actions.

The good over evil always triumphs. Many a time we come across people doing bad to society spend inconspicuously on charitable causes and feed the hungry and the down trodden. This is an effort to get over the guilt and make dirt free the miss deeds committed.

Mind over Matter is nevertheless, superior and dictates the truth. One can accept unconditional thinking and filter the undesirable. To practice virtue and pursue virtuous deeds is not a crime. Medicine is not for taste, it is meant for healing the decease.

One cannot escape Destiny, but in understanding it as it presents itself and to readjust once life to its own wavelengths would do the trick.

Every moment in life poses its own opportunity for us to relish and experience life. Everything in the package needs to be felt and smoothened. The fabric and the texture of which it is woven could be rough, slippery and sticky but what is important is not how you struggled but how you reconciled and won.

To admit failure is easy, but to pursue and strengthen the mind to win is an achievement. The ability to continue in the face of defeat and to better your circumstance is divine.

In the pursuit of finding once own Destiny, partly one can exercise control oneself. . Controlling and restraining some avoidable actions and forbid wrong doings calling upon the better judgment.

Collective logical reasoning and common sense would offset sin. Stopping in tracks, to become conscious of the superiority of humane nature and bow down to its sacredness.

Perpetually surrendering to this state of purity one can change destiny.

Destiny in other words is amenable to thought and right actions. It should not be construed as a curse fallen on mankind.

The gifts of GOD are very many, natural abundance, the animal kingdom, life-sustaining elements all is given on a platter. We are the privileged and blessed creatures. There is nothing to feel insecure and incompetent. We only need to identify ourselves and feel exceptional to be happy.

Pick up a conversation with a child and be susceptible to the response and reactions. Use humour and see the mirth and laughter, the innocence personified.

Listen to the silent sound of the seas, the pulsating waves, the gushing water and whistling wind all these portends life in its complete purity. We only need to subtly understand our limitations and practice humility, the moment we are trapped inside the cocoon and close our mind we are struck up in the quagmire of confusion failing incompetently to see the light.

Human Destiny however incomprehensible and feel vague, there are certainties and has concrete ground realities. A cat cannot give birth to a rat, neither the DNA –nor the genes allow a freakish birth. Like so, whatever good we do in our lifetime will be a precedence to experience an extension of happier life.

Life for many good people could be downright miserable, but it is a test of time, an opportunity to learn from the experience and to strengthen our mind and body withstanding the unprecedented circumstances by virtue of fortitude and resilience. Life is not a bed of roses; it is a mixed bag of the desirables and undesirables. Only right attitudinal perceptions and healthy convictions need to govern us, not to buckle down or resign during these phases but to stand up and face in spiritual strength. After all Destinies is a question of what we sow and what we reap.

Worldly circumstances need not cause permanent damage in our physic plane, affecting an individual’s personality. In fact no circumstance is worth committing suicide about. Challenge of life is to squarely stand up and to face the odds. Without escaping and even pretending that you are not being affected. The turmoil within us is only momentary; as the time passes away what you have construed earlier will prove to be not standing and withers, falling off like dry leaves. GOD created us with a purpose and if his intentions are meant to make us realize the true nature of life, we need to have a clearer understanding of the values and the gifts that he has showered upon us. The abundance of

Nature would be sufficient enough to make us realize that almighty God have bestowed upon us the best of life’s resources. However, he dose not believe in orchestrating our entire life. We need to prove ourselves worthy of his considerations.

Destiny is what we fight against our own vices and temptations. True realization and sensitive awareness would surely keep us above board. The true meaning of life and death will show us the enlightened path. Absolving all our woes and suffering.

If the perception of Destiny is misunderstood, and we resign not paying heed to the chances of how we can better our lives, thinking that it is totally a predestined issue - we are essentially wrong. If we human beings are perennially condemned to suffer and feel dammed, the existence of whatever good has no meaning. It is not by reprimand alone that one learns the truth. One can overcome the impediments by devotion and prayer. If a conscious mind with clear intentions evaluate between the righteous acts and the evil actions, it can overcome what is sanity and insanity. This effort will show a way out of a destiny that is predestined.

‘No body is born under a bad star, there are people who will misread the skies’ so said Dalai Lama. The ability to perceive the true meaning of life lies in understanding oneself, introspection of our own being, and in restraining unconscionable acts that we commit, superseding nature and morals. Therefore Destiny is open to the beholder, to modify or to choose what one aspires to be.

Any honest application and focused intelligence leads to tangible achievements. It is the passion and commitment to purpose that uplifts mankind. Great corporate enterprises are born by persuasion and commitment. Penicillin - the life saving antibiotic, was found out by Alexander Fleming.

The mind over matter is superior and should take over the life tides, guiding and inspiring us at every step. We must uphold values of higher planes to overcome deficiencies and inadequacies. We need to constantly upgrade and resurrect humane thoughts and better our birth, may be to transcend and live again in a superior world free from the cycle of birth and death, for which we need to qualify and be prepared. There is nothing like being fully loved and accepted by people for the good attributes you lived for and setting the precedence of peaceful existence.
