  • We often feel bogged down and frustrated with 'destiny' when things don't go well in life. But we don't mind it when things go well! How much of life is destiny and how much of it is self-effort?
    There is a strong resounding answer based on the life experiences of many people with Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Starting with a special person working for Radiosai to an alumnus seeking a child; from a personal experience to the experience of an agnostic professor in the Sri Sathya Sai University, the insights that we gain from Swami are tremendous. Whatever be the proportion of 'effort' and 'destiny' in life, living cheerfully becomes a reality once we learn a little secret.
    This was a special Satsangh talk delivered at the end of the World Youth Conference at Prasanthi Nilayam on the 15th of July 2016.

    I am looking to switch my career/job for sometime now with absolutely no positive response. I got my horoscope checked recently and there is no career written in that , so am very well aware that am trying to create something thats not even there in the first place. So deep down i feel grateful to swamy for giving me my current job , However being an 'athyagrahi' this morning i was feeling lot low and was telling him nothing is gonna happen , since its not even written in my destiny though i try to put in a lot of effort [upskilling et al]. So your message from swamy gives me hope to continue to put in effort to change my destiny. Thanks Aravind

      You should be really happy that you have a job on hand. Perform your tasks sincerely and dedicate everything to Swami. Everything will be fine. My horoscope says I should get a great job and yet I am without one now. Everything is not about destiny. We should continue our efforts and the rest is upto Swami.

    🙏SAIRAM brother Aravind.......today's episode on destiny subject was very interesting and keenly awesome..If I'm not mistaken what is our destiny might be if we were not a devotee of our beloved Swami .....thus he choose us or we are been lucky for ourselves....becoz both attached with destiny and his grace only ...our karma is with this life is to walk on Swami's path neither to bother about death or rebirth again with another karma ....My complete believe is on Swami is only the way he teaches us is the best way to finish our sins from since karma .....Brother your today's episode was so great that I became a huge fan of you the concept of karma or destiny what you explained was very good and touched to my heart....Swami always bless you to make such prediction stories like this to realize how we are a beautiful soul journs of Swami....Jai Sairam Aum Sairam 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

    Such a beautiful satsang it is 🙂❤️
    The talk was like Anil Kumar sir's 😇✨
    U have placed ur viewpoint rightly on such a controversial topic
    InSAIght were amazing
    Many anecdotes learnt proving that "Grace is a insurance which just flows to mould the destiny according to our intensity of efforts"
    "What u meet in life us destiny, How u meet it is self efforts" - great message ✨✨
    I will take up the path of Village road (karma marga) which will open up my path towards state highway (bhakti marga) to reach through safest highway (gyana marga)
    Btw, just on a side note, i want to confirm that we too learnt Bohr's theory of atom in class 9 (NCERT)😅😅

    Krishna tells Arjun, we are both born many times .. Also Krishna tells Arjun, we are both unborn eternal nondual aatman.. Both are correct. One is relative truth, one is Absolute.. Same regarding Karma and Destiny according to the level of consciousness of who is listening! Ramana Maharshi in his highest realization of Self has said everything is predetermined.. everything! So in the highest Truth, not a leaf moves without Will of Divine! But in relative world where “you” don’t know “you” are the Self, Karma (action) is effort, Bhoga (consequence) is destiny!
