Query: Belief Destiny...
Kaivalya
Jnani:
Not only do I believe in destiny... I took absolute control of my destiny
in the earlier stages of my life. My experience -
When young, I wanted to come face-to-face with God in this very life. I
wanted to travel the path taken by Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet
Mohammed.
I was just 11 years of age when I converted my desire to conviction. At
13 years of age I had finally decided to leave in search of God. I asked of my mother for permission. She did
not grant permission to leave the house. As destiny would have it I started in search of God from the
precincts of my house.
Every single act of my karma was directed toward searching for God. I
completed my engineering, settled in my own profession, married and had beautiful children... yet, all my
energies always remained directed in search of God.
I met many people in this life who may have been the strangers. Yet as
destiny would have it whatever best I could gather from each one... was my destiny!
I had no guru (spiritual master) to guide me. Ultimately I begged of
Almighty God to become the lighthouse of my spiritual path. He agreed. At 37 I reached the ultimate of
spiritual life. Having taken control of the five senses and the mind, practicing absolute celibacy for a
period of 12 years, following the path of Neti (not this, not this) as practiced and advocated by Maharishi
Ramana... I finally achieved what I wanted to achieve.
On the third of August 1993 I came face-to-face with God. The complete gist of all sacred scriptures existing on
Mother Earth became like ABC to me.
I had gained self realization. This is my last (8.4 millionth)
manifestation. When I started in search of God I had absolutely no idea about destiny and fate. Ultimately, I
had my destiny absolutely under wraps. I had finally won the end.
In our present life... we only meet soul's atmans with whom we had
contact in earlier lives. It is because of the residual balance of karma. Until a small percentage of karma
between two souls atmans remain... the two keep meeting in every future manifestation. This is what doctrine
of karma is all about.
The stranger we meet on the road again and again may have been my dear sister of the previous manifestation.
Alternatively, I may have been her father of the earlier manifestation. Whatever the relationship... it is destiny
that has bid us to meet. Only if we hear the sweet small inner voice of our soul coming from within our heart... it
is possible we recognize the old soul.
