Controlling Destiny Fate
(destiny or fate - destiny)

Kaivalya Jnani:
I not only control my destiny... I have reached the end of my cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation. I shall gain salvation (moksha) when I leave the mortal frame forever after the death of the body. With what surety can I say this...is it not taking things too far!

When I was 13 years of age I had a very strong conviction to go in search of God come whatever may. I went to the temple with my mother on all religious occasions but somehow felt that God did not reside in the statues that existed in temples. I wanted a spiritual master who could guide me on path to God... there were none to be found!

Whenever I consulted an elder on the issue... I was simply told that children are not supposed to indulge in matters spiritual. It is only when one crosses the age of 50 years... should one indulge in ascetic practices... never before! I also inferred from the discussions of the elders that finding God was a really tough as it may take many lives to achieve the same.

I wanted to reach my goal in this very life. Now what! I was simply stuck with a dead-end. How to take the control of my destiny was the biggest question that kept me disturbing day and night. I slowly realized that forming a goal in life is 50% job done. The balance 50% was an uncharted territory which every serious seeker of spirituality travels individually.

In my journey towards God I was prepared for any sacrifice... even leave my family forever... which my mother never permitted. I continued my journey while in the family. After 25 years of patient practice, persistence and perseverance... I ultimately realized God in 1993.

Having come face-to-face with God Almighty... every sacred Scripture existing on Mother Earth became like ABC to me. I ultimately brought my destiny under wraps. I had finally reached the end goal of life.
