Karma, Luck and Destiny - Part-3

We have already discussed Karma and Luck in the first two parts of this three part series of articles. Now is the turn of Destiny - 

As per Free dictionary, Destiny is a predetermined course of events that are considered to be beyond the control of human beings. 

It is this predetermined course of events that we have to understand in order to understand our destiny. A lot of people understand destiny as fate; however, it is not an appropriate and sufficient condition. Because, people confuse or substitute destiny as fate which is not true. To be more precise, let me elaborate on the following:

"Our fate decides our destiny but our destiny does not decide our fate." 

Clearly, our fate is something which will take us closer to our destiny but fate is not the same as destiny. Then, the more important question that comes to everyone's mind is - 

"If fate is different than destiny, then what is destiny."

I will not hesitate to say that Destiny is our destination - it is our target for this life. For example, if a person feels that Software development is his destination, then so be it. Software development, indeed is that person's destiny. 

Human beings have been assigned different targets for their lives. Therefore, everyone of us work in different roles to achieve their respective targets. The entire population of earth doesn't work in software development or the entire population of earth does not produce goods. These targets or goals are based on the past karmas (hard work), luck, aptitude and evolution of the soul of the person. 

Based on these factors, a human being is assigned a role for his present life. However, if this is destiny, then why do people keep changing their targets. That is because, once a person has realized his destiny, then he needs to re-visit his targets just to ensure that he continues on the path of progression or evolution. In case the person doesn't do that, then he is bound to stagnate after realizing his destiny.

However, another potent question comes that if a person keeps on moving from one target to another, then is life really a never ending chain? Well, the answer to this is Life is never ending as well as ending. 

It is pertinent to note that any human being in his quest for greater satisfaction is eventually reaching close to a point from where he will set GOD realization as his ultimate destiny or final destiny or final station. It is this destination that every human being is bound to reach sooner or later. Some may reach here early because of their faster evolution while others may take time as they are focused on other targets of their lives.

Also, it is not important for a person to be super-rich or super-powerful to identify his ultimate destination. It is just a matter of evolution of a person's mind. If your mind has evolved, then obviously you can strive for the final destination. 

But is God realization really our final destination? If yes, then why and If not, then why not? I will touch this topic in my next post and try to throw some light on it.

Dr Swamy's three step formula to make India a VishwaGuru again

BJP leader and eminent economist, Dr Subramanian Swamy, invited as a Chief Speaker at a recent webinar of TiE on "Making India Succeed", spoke at length on India's existing challenges and viable solutions to address these challenges. However, Dr Swamy categorically focused on three major areas, which will help to improve India's world status and restore the country's past glory.  These are explained below: Improve the state of Economy Abolish income tax to boost consumption and savings among households. Bring down interest rates on business loans up to the level of 6% p.a for MSMEs. Increase interest rate on FDs to 9% per annum to facilitate higher savings from households.  Build roads to connect all villages with nearby towns. This will improve connectivity, reduce unemployment, increase purchasing power and spur demand.

Pushpendra Kulshrestha - A Congi Mole within BJP?

Lets say that I am a nobody to comment on Pushpendra Kulshrestha (PK), in the same manner, PK has ZERO credibility (he is nobody) to comment on Dr Swamy. PK's track record suggests that he is fair weather friend of current government. PK could very well be a Congi mole disguised as a Hindutva speaker.  And I am truly flabbergasted to see the responses of Hindus. Apart from making videos and giving speeches on Public events, what is PK's contribution towards Hindutva?  Yes we do need warriors to speak in favor of Hindutva, however, it doesn't mean that we will accept anyone or everyone. Unfortunately, now days its like a popularity contest because anyone who speaks at a superficial level manages to get MAX eyeballs.  Due to emergence of these fake warriors, people have lost sight of the real on ground fighters. Just because a public speaker comes across as a Hindutva well-wisher, he may not necessarily be a genuine well-wisher.  However, these speakers, for their

Withdraw minority specific reservations at Minority institutions, funded by tax payers money, to bring parity in education system

Minority institutions across India receive grants from government and channelize a large percentage of these funds for the welfare and benefits of minorities such as Christians, Muslims, Jains, Parasis etc. Such inconsistencies rip-off the right of hard-working and meritorious hindu students to receive benefits of better education from these institutes. Despite having a meritorious record, majority Hindu students are left out from these educational institutions only because of their religious background.  With 50% of the seats reserved for minorities, general category Hindu students have to fight for remaining seats. This is the prevalent trend among so called prestigious minority colleges such as St Stephens, St Xaviers, Jesus & Mary College, Loyola College etc. In a recent tweet, Dr Swamy highlighted St Stephens case to prove the disparities in the system. The tweet calls for a re-look at the existing education system with the purpose of introducing further reforms.
