Destiny and Self Effort - How much of life depends on each? | Satsangh

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.
