QUESTION OF THE WEEK 9.5: "DO YOU BELIEVE IN DESTINY OR KARMA? CAN BOTH BE TRUE?" || πππ
We are more familiar with the term "karma," and we have heard it more often, but that does not mean we grasp its meaning any better. Karma is the law of action, which states that the consequences of any action on any plane of reality will eventually return to their source, or cause. The consequences of a person's conduct always return to a person in this or other incarnations, much as the waves caused by a stone thrown into a lake return reflected off its borders and annihilate each other.

This appears to be a perfectly natural and fair law at first glance, but it is extremely difficult to accept. It's challenging since the law's direct result is a straightforward conclusion: everything that happens to me today is my fault. My health, mental ability, social status, country, and birth date... - all of this is not by chance and is a direct result of my decisions and actions.
To put it another way, my parents are not to fault for my current predicament, nor are my friends, neighbors, or even foreign foes, who are throwing spokes in our wheels... No! I am the sole cause of my current predicament.

Can destiny be changed?

But why is it so difficult to accept it? The truth is that everyone occasionally resembles a would-be gardener who is frantically attempting to figure out what went wrong with his garden. Why do nettles, cucumbers, and even weeds grow here, there, and everywhere? Who seeded it all? In the instance of a gardener, the answer is self-evident: you had to prepare ahead of time what you were going to plant and keep track of how it grew. It is not worth it to sin against the Lord or anybody else; whatever you have sown will surely sprout, according to the apostle Paul. Simply said... you must plan ahead of time what you will seed!
I'd want to delve deeper into this concept. Many people, even those who believe in the rule of Karma, see everything that happens to them as a result of something they did previously. This is right, but only to a certain extent. Assume I misplaced part of the funds as retribution for prior transgressions. Alternatively, I was promoted unexpectedly - this is Karma rewarding me for my efforts and good acts. So? Not at all. Karma is an impersonal law that does not punish or reward; it simply reacts and gives back. However, by reacting each time, Karma not only returns the consequences to me, but also provides the conditions for my onward movement, toward my own destiny.
It is critical to comprehend this. When something bad happens to us, we usually "look back," meaning we see it as a reward or retribution for something. Of course, what occurred to us is inextricably linked to our past, but the point is that we no longer have the ability to change it. We can't undo what has already occurred. As a result, learning to "look forward," that is, perceiving what is occurring to us as an opportunity to "sow" something new, is critical for comprehending the law of Karma, for it is said, "What you sow, you will reap"!

How Karma Determines Destiny

Do I want to experience more love in my life? This implies that I must "sow" love, i.e., react to events from a place of love. Do I desire a greater sense of fairness in my life? This means I must "sow" justice and be the source of it. Do you wish you had more money? - Should put up more effort. Do you want more of the wonderful stuff? β It is necessary to sow good β and so forth. The most important thing is to realize that I am in charge of my own fate right now, as I react to this or that situation. Because I'm currently "sowing," or setting the foundations for future consequences.
Is it therefore feasible to alter one's fate? Yes. Furthermore, we do it all the time, whether we're making minor or large decisions. Our job is to regard them as a sequence of everyday happenings and realize that everything that happens to us is an opportunity, not a punishment or a reward. Our personal fate is determined by our attitude, our choice. And don't forget about Dharma, or destiny, which always expresses itself through the voice of conscience: we know exactly what to do at every given moment, in any given situation. Yes, we do not always do this, but we are capable of doing so.
As a result, all that remains for me to say is to quote Goethe's famous words: "How can we know ourselves?" Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Try to accomplish your job, and you'll soon discover who you are. What is your responsibility? Demands of every day.
Thank you everyone for coming, for paying attention, and for allowing me to speak to you about this important matter, which deserves more time to be discussed.
