Is it Destiny or Karma

The question asked in the discourse was - What is destiny vs. how much of it do we control in terms of karma.
Destiny is not something that can be proven. When someone is hit with a brick in their head, they look around and question why this happened to them. On the contrary, if someone gets a million dollars no one questions why they got it. But when we go through a tough time, that's when we question if it is destiny or what did I do in my life to deserve something like this. The truth is, anything can happen to anyone. It doesn't matter how good your karma or how sound your destiny is. One must always work in life believing in karma, destiny can only play a role if you become a worthy recipient.
When something doesn't happen in our life, where do we look for answers? Do we look for answers in things we don't control, in which case we will end up blaming someone or something else. Or should we look for answers within? In fact, that is the whole journey of awakening, that we look within for all our answers. When we do this, chances are that we realize somewhere we are responsible for the issues we face.
"Instead of thinking of destiny or free will, begin with the assumption that you can transform your life, you can master yourself and you can write your future. Once you set your mind, give your everything to make it happen. Whatever be the outcome, the journey itself becomes every bit worthwhile. Why live any other way?" os.me/destiny-or-free-will-wh...

जी चाहता है कि बस सुनते ही जाए.... सुनते ही जाए... गुरुजी आपकी वाणी सेअद्भुत बल मिलता है, संसार और स्वयं को देखने का नजरिया ही बदल जाता है... अन्तिम सांस तक आपकी कृपा बनी रहे 🙏💐 हृदय की अनन्त गहराइयों से गुरु जी को कोटि कोटि चरण स्पर्श 🙏💐

[@udaygawande5681]

Is it in our control or not? Karma is something which is in our control and destiny is something which is not in our control. One of the best line I heard from Swamiji.

[@amitaarora8415]

Such a subtle and polite way to convey this most powerful message. Love you Swami Ji for solving most dreaded riddles of life one by one by your discourses. Awakening is journey within and having courage to confront oneself for the self contribution to the scenario one is facing. What an amazing reply🙏🏼. Jai Shri Hari Swami Ji and thanks a ton for everything you are doing for us.
