How understanding
destiny empowers
Destiny – two meanings
Destiny: what is going to
happen
Destiny: what we are
going to achieve
Sports – amplified microcosm of life
Performance matters,
Yet performance is not
all that matters
What is destiny?
The aggregate of the
reactions to our own past
actions delivered to us
according to a higher plan
Vidura-Dhritarashtra
Destiny determines the
consequences of our
actions, not our actions
themselves
Destiny-free will interaction
What happens is
destiny
What we do is free will
Destiny-God interaction
We see the present and
plan the future
God sees the future and
plans the present
Always be positive
Everything that
happens may not be
good, but it can be for
good
Surrender empowers
Diligence about the
changeable,
Dependence about the
unchangeable
Conclusion
Whatever karma may
get us to, Krishna will
get us through
