How to Prepare for Adversity [Hindi with English CC] - Om Swami

Everyone has experienced both happiness and suffering in life. Some of us believe that everything happening to us is our destiny, and there is little we can do about it. Whereas, others believe in free will. So which is it? If it is destiny, will consulting astrologers about the future better prepare us for adversity? If not, what can we do to better ride the motions of life?
To help us answer some of these questions, Om Swami narrates an incident from the life of two saints, Goswami Tulsidas* and Baba Keenaram in this video. Peppered with humor, anecdotes, and wisdom, he shares with us his views on free will, destiny, and faith, and if we should believe in the stars or ourselves.
Pearls of Wisdom to take away from this talk:
1. Believe in your own hard work instead of looking for signs in the stars
2. Learn to take responsibility for your actions in life
3. Life will have its ups and downs, be more accepting of them to reduce your suffering
* Goswami Tulsidas is considered to be one of the greatest poets-saints of India and the author of the epic Ramcharitmanas (Lake of the deeds of Rama).

I do feel Swamiji, your virtual presence is very positive. Your discourses are liberating for the soul. On Astrology, yes it is true Swamiji i agree with your opinion as well. For someone like me who has fell into the trap of hearing negative about my future via astrology, i am elated to watch your videos due to your divine presence. To avoid the trap, i need to uncondition myself which means forgetting what someone has said and move on with life and surrender to the divine grace.

He is just stating if you are sitting in front of a saint and saint is doing prediction for ur future 🔮 one should know that He is not sitting in front of saint! Because Saints are not to do predictions.. He said 80 per cent of one's life is not predestined! He simply said He endorses one's efforts.👌🙏

As I was watching this Video there is this unsettling feeling, like a knot inside my chest which is getting untied. Got new perspective over many topics which always intrigues me. The role of god in our life , role of a bhakta in lord's eye and your love towards us, I got a better understanding of all that. I can't thank you enough my prabhu, for giving such a precious wisdom. Thank you always for keeping me in your shelter and showing the true path to the divine.
