When we do any auspicious or important task We first choose the right pen or pencil for it If we have to sign an important document We choose the best pen that we have My karma is like my pen with which I write my destiny. Things keep happening - suddenly a situation comes, suddenly someone's behaviour changes This is life. And every time when such things happen I have to respond.
I need to look at that scene and face it. From today I need to pay attention only one aspect. When I react I need to remember What is getting written by my reaction?
My destiny is getting written. What kind of destiny do we want in life? Share it in just one word.
What kind of destiny do you want? How many of you want a nice destiny? How many of you want a very nice destiny?
You already have a beautiful destiny. Otherwise you would not even be sitting here. You live in such a Satvik city, that itself is your fortune.
That is also fortune because they so much purity even in the air here. It's not only because of a lack of pollution in the air but it also reflects the purity in the minds here. So our destiny is already very beautiful.
But now we don't want just a beautiful destiny but we want a perfect destiny. If you get the power to write the destiny of your child Will write it to be perfect isn't it? You will not write anything short of perfection.
If you are told to write your child's destiny Will you write it to be 90% perfect? We want even write even their exam score as 90. So there is no chance that we write their destiny to be 90% perfect.
What number will we write? 100% perfection. If we want our child to score 100 in his exam If we want his destiny to be 100% perfect Should we not desire for 100% perfection in our own destiny as well?
Do you want it or you ok with the little up and down here and there? Do you think somebody can have 100% perfect destiny? Is it even possible or impossible?
You are not even sure if it is possible or not. Do you think somebody can have 100% perfect destiny? Not possible?
Okay. Is it possible to have 100% perfect body? Because we need a healthy body when we talk of destiny.
Is it possible to have 100% perfect body? We are not even sure of what we want to create. We are going through such a phase of the Iron Age Where a lot of things are happening all of a sudden.
The uncertainty so much right now, that one moment everything is fine and the next moment everything can go wrong. When we talk about our destiny We mostly look at external aspects and say this should be perfect . .
. That should be perfect . .
. You look at the stage. Right now this is my life.
Now you should give an answer of what my perfect destiny will be like. This is my life. In this life this chair is very important, the table is very important Mike is obviously extremely important, otherwise my task just will not get done.
Even all this decoration is important. Suppose all these things are perfect But my mind is not all that perfect. Will you still call my destiny as perfect?
Everything that I have here around me is perfect. But my mind is not perfect. Will you say my destiny is perfect?
Yes or no? No. The second option is Suppose the table is a little unsteady Mike is not okay as you know.
I have kept it so close but still audio is not clear. Suppose the chair is also just okay, and not great. Flowers are wilting And the carpet is a little dirty.
Which means things around me are not really perfect. But my mind is perfect. Then is my destiny perfect?
Think carefully and then answer. In the first option everything outside was perfect but my mind was not perfect. And you said in that case my destiny is not perfect.
And the second option is that everything around is just there But suddenly something goes wrong. But no matter what is happening around me, my mind is perfect. In that case is my destiny perfect?
Yes or no? Yes, it is perfect. .
Then how easy is it to create perfect destiny? Then why do you think that having a perfect destiny is not possible? There are two powers.
One is the external world And the other is I the soul who experiences that external world. Since we have forgotten that we are souls I believed that my destiny means everything should be perfect Which means I wanted my body to be perfect, my work or job to be perfect My children should be perfect, my house should be perfect I want everything to be perfect. Do you know that even at this moment there are many people in the world Who have all these aspects perfect in their life All these aspects are perfect for them And yet they are not contented internally.
And yet there is a desire for this and that and other . . .
Some of them even have their own Chartered planes. They have everything. But they don't have contentment.
They want more and more. When there is no contentment, there is no happiness. And when there is no happiness, they are still standing on the wanting side of things.
But we also come across some people who have very little But they say - I am content. I need Nothing from anyone. I am a giver.
And I just serve everyone Their hands are like this, giving. So whom do you call as more fortunate? One whose hand is in the direction of giving or wanting?
Hand means the hand of wisdom The one who is giving. Elevated fortune does not mean That I have more money, that my body is more healthy, and that my children are perfect That is not true. We are in the iron age.
As will be the weather, so will be our situations. If it is winter then we are bound to feel cold. We cannot question why we are feeling cold.
In the monsoon season, we cannot question why it is raining. During the covered pandemic phase, we cannot question why someone got infected. But when this is the period of iron age It is not necessary that everything outside is perfect.
Even if it is perfect today, tomorrow it can suddenly change. It is outside. But even while living in the Iron age It is possible that my mind is Golden aged.
It is possible. Why is it possible? Because my mind is the only thing which is only and only under my control.
And my mind need not get influenced by the world around me. Today no matter how much you take care of your body Sometimes the air is polluted, sometimes water is contaminated Sometimes there is a chemical in vegetables. Even if none of these existed, Covid pandemic hit the world.
It was not in our control, was it? But today change the definition of fortune My fortune is here My fortune being perfect means Regardless of how things are outside I the soul am full and complete. Not that I have a lot of money but I the soul am full.
I am a powerful soul A soul who is full, will always be a giver On the other hand someone who has everything materialistically, if the soul is not full, they will still be wanting. Who should we become? Givers or takers?
Show me with your hands. This is why a diya is lit Diya means to give. We have heard since childhood That has long as Diya is glowing, life will remain auspicious If the Diya is put off, then life turns inauspicious At home if the flame of a diya starts flickering, we immediately try to protect it Doesn't matter even if those diyas are put off.
The ones that were lighted here are already taken inside. Diya is symbolic and it teaches us the right way to live I the soul am a giver When this giving stops, then our life becomes inauspicious The Diya that I am a giver - that should be lit up always I don't need anything from anyone but I always need to keep giving. The one who is a giver, his destiny will always be perfect.
Because expectations, hurt, anger and sorrow will get finished. Are we ready to create a perfect destiny? Perfect destiny doesn't mean my body will be perfect healthy.
Perfect destiny means no matter how ill the body is I the soul am perfect even with this imperfect body. And we do meet such people throughout the day. All of you might know somebody who might have fever of 100 degrees They keep complaining and cribbing about their illness What has happened to the body?
Just fever. But how much is the soul suffering? A lot.
Then what will you say to the fortune of such a person? You will also meet someone who is in the last stage of cancer. But they look so cheerful and say - it is all right.
As long as I am alive let me be happy. Even if I have to move forward, I will leave happily. Whose fortune or destiny is more elevated then?
We should never check our fortune or destiny in external aspects. There are some people who have abundance of money But their thinking is very shallow. They say - I have very less.
I need more. Today I incurred so much loss. He did not pay me enough.
Which means that person is not happy. Someone has a very small amount of money They will say - I am eating dal roti every day and singing praises of God. What else do we need in life?
So whose destiny will you say is better? But because we have forgotten who we are We kept looking for fortune or destiny outside of us. Now as we have approached the end period of the iron age We don't know if things outside will be perfect or not.
Because nothing outside is in our control. But our mind being perfect - that is completely in our control. We need to create that power.
Are you ready to create that power, since you want a perfect destiny? This is a homework and we need to start doing it from today. The first equation is Any time in any situation Whether the situation is trivial Or whether the situation is huge The situation is a problem.
Like how we learn equations at school We just need to learn the equations and go to the school The problem given to us to solve can be anything We don't know the problem before hand but we know the equation. If the equation is right, then we will solve the problem. But if our equation itself is wrong Then we will fail even in solving the simplest problem Because my equation itself was wrong.
The most important equation of life Which we have learnt wrongly Because of which even a trivial matter has started to seem like a huge problem The equation we believed to be right is Other people's words and behaviours create my state of mind. And that is why how has our language become today? Because of this person I am anxious, because of her I am worried .
. . He did this and therefore I am sad.
I am happy because of her. I am peaceful because of them Which means all my thoughts and feelings are created because of whom? Other people.
We got this equation wrong. So today we will change the equation The moment you change the equation Even the biggest problems in your life will shrink and finish off We just need to get the equation right. Just check - If someone behaves wrongly with you Is it possible for you to respond with peace and stability?
Is it possible or not? It is possible. Should we respond with peace or not?
Because some people ask - Why should I remain quiet? Why should I be the one to remain calm? And how many times to remain calm?
The answer is - Do it as long as you want an elevated destiny. The day you don't want a good destiny, you shout back at the other person. It is simple.
We are not remaining quiet for the sake of the other person We feel we are doing a favour to the other person by remaining come. Whatever we do, who are we doing it for? Only for ourselves.
Because as soon as someone does something and we react We don't know if our reaction will affect them or not. But we lose a lot of our own power here. Just visualise this soul here to be a battery.
Elevated destiny or elevated Fortune means this battery should be perfect or full. Throughout the day what are the things which we do Because of which this battery gradually keeps depleting. The more this battery gets depleted, the more we are spoiling our fortune.
We might have everything but we will not experience emotional comfort. We will not experience happiness or contentment. Because I have discharged this battery.
So check and share what are the emotions we create throughout the day Because of which this battery depletes slightly List out at least two or four things, so that we can finish them today. What are our Sanskars which deplete our soul battery? Anyone can share.
First is comparison. Make a list and take it as a homework. Jealousy.
Third is anger. Ego. Soul battery is getting depleted gradually.
