In today’s Blog I have tried my best to explain about your Destiny without any charge...LOL 😂 😝 😆. Duty to Destiny, it is the journey of our Consciousness.
In our day to day life, by observing the world around us we realize that most of the time we have very little control on things happening around us and absolutely no control on Mother Nature. The only control we have is our passion to take action or perform our Duty (Dharma) in any given situation of life. Everything is moving in this world due to Passion, without passion there is no action. Our passion to take action is influenced by our Material Modes or Consciousness and our Consciousness is influenced by the kind of association & environment we live in.
Our motive or consciousness will affect the result of our action which is defined as a KARMA; our Karma leads us toward our Destiny. Destiny is the reservoir or collection of our Karma which we have performed throughout our life. For example: 1. If parents consciously devote their time in upbringing of their children, they will become good citizens of the nation. On other hand from childhood if we are directed to perform antisocial activities one day we may end up in a jail...LOL 2. From a young age if we consciously pay attention to a healthy life style, we can live healthier & longer....so on and so forth......Good Karma Good Destiny. Through out the life state of our consciousness decides the end result of our actions meaning our Destiny. Thus "Journey of our Consciousness becomes our Destiny".
धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah: If we protect our Duty or Dharma it will protect us vice versa If we destroy our Dharma it will destroy us.
In short everything in our life depends on our Consciousness. The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and consciousness cannot be evolved unconsciously. In this world nothing happens by chance. Self realization is all about realizing the state of my Consciousness; take necessary action (meaning practicing Spiritual Yoga) to uplift my Consciousness to perform my prescribed duties or responsibilities........and thus change my Destiny.
But remember one thing, we CAN not CHANGE the DESTINY of our BIRTH, AGING & DEATH...TILL WE GET LIBERATED. 😆
Bg 2.47 -- You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.
Bg 2.48 -- Perform your duty equipoised, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called yoga.
Bg 18.7 -- Prescribed duties should never be renounced. If one gives up his prescribed duties because of illusion, such renunciation is said to be in the mode of ignorance.
Bg 18.58 -- If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost. ( Vedabase.com ).
Have a Consciousness in Mode of Goodness.
It is easy to say, but difficult to follow. I am in the same boat with everyone else, or I may even be behind, but thinking in the right direction will help us to go in the right direction.
Thank You.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION , SOURCE & THE GURUS:
I am inspired to hear & read the Vedic Scriptures by regularly listening to Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale, also known as Dadaji ( speaks on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and the association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra.
I also hear and read the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Shubha Vilas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, HH Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, HH Romapada Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......).
FYI: A good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com . Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures. Repeatedly hearing/reading & meditating the Scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantras are nourishing to our heart (Soul), transcendental to our consciousness, purifying to our senses and thus helps us to overcome our weaknesses or deficiencies. Yes, we do have good qualities within us but there is always a room for improvement.
It is always a good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Thanks to the Facebook/Social media for providing me the platform. Of course I use Smartphone/Google/Pexels search to collect some data.
Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE. Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of the Guru & God (Krishna , Absolute Truth).
NOTE:
Many times a word Hearing is used instead of Listening when it comes to the Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.
We can follow either the Quran, Bible,Torah, Tripitaka-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, Gita or any other Philosophy which makes sense to us, purifies us, elevates our consciousness and qualifies us to understand God and instill the love of God & his creation. (whichever way we can understand God -- either Personal with many names or Impersonal as an universal consciousness & energy).
Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion or Depiction (means image, picture...etc) but try to understand him by the Definition through Scriptures. The Transcendental subject of God & his creation cannot be understood by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why is the circle circular? Just by definition, the circle is circular. Similarly by definition, God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes.
I see God, besides the above mentioned qualities, as an eternal living person (not a abstract or some kind of light) known by the name KRISHNA meaning one who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, forms, abodes, incarnations, activities, qualities, associates, is full of wisdom, bliss, and the cause of all causes.
Bg 9.17 -- I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable oṁ. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.
Bg:13-12:-- Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).
