The totality of all your past is the present. The totality of all your present will be your future. The problem is that we make most of our decisions unconsciously. We take thousands of decisions unconsciously. That is the reason why we are not able to connect the cause with the effect. Flood more awareness ,, more intelligence into your thinking system. Flood more awareness, more consciousness into your decision-making system.
In any given moment, the future is predestined but conditionally. It will be a certain future according to all the totality of events till that time - this is the predestined future. But it is conditional. There is an important factor that can and will change it -- your consciousness, your will.
A small story:
Once, two brothers met a sage who was known to be able to look into the future. The brothers paid their respect to the sage and asked him if he could tell them about their future. The hermit advised them , " It may not be good for you to know your future. Besides, your future can change later even if i tell you now".
The brothers insisted on knowing their future. The sage looked at the elder brother and said, ' You will become a king in a year.' Looking at the younger brother, he said, 'You are destined to die in the hands of a murderer in a year's time', The brothers started walking back home. The elder brother was overjoyed while the younger one was depressed.
Now the elder brother started creating his fantasy world dreaming of becoming a king. The younger brother, who was destined to have less than a year to live, started spending his time in spiritual activities. He used his time to serve everyone and soon came out of his depression. Eleven months passed. One day the elder brother invited the younger one to his house. He wanted to look out for land for a grand palace he was planning to build since very soon he would become a king They were walking on a huge open piece of land when the younger brother stumbled on a half-buried pot. The brothers dug the pot and removed it. It was a huge pot of gold coins
The elder brother was thrilled and started shouting, ' This treasure is just for me! It is for me to set up my palace and kingdom! Just then, a bandit jumped out from a bush, gave a blow on the elder brother's head and tried to snatch the pot from him. The younger brother jumped at the bandit to protect his brother. But the bandit attacked him with a dagger he had in his hand. During the struggle the bandit dropped the pot and ran away.
The elder brother was very thankful to his younger brother for saving his life and offered him half of the gold coins. The younger brother politely refused saying he was not going to live much longer in any case. The elder brother with his new treasure started living a lavish life, eating, drinking and being merry.
One year passed. There was no sign of any crown in sight. The younger brother was also enjoying good health. They decided to visit the sage again. They met him and asked, ' How did your predictions go wrong?' The sage was also surprised and went into meditation. He then explained, ' I told you your destiny can be changed'. He looked at the elder brother and said, ' Your destiny changed because of your irresponsible actions over the past months. The crown that you were to get was reduced to a pot of gold.He looked at the younger brother and said, ' Your spiritual life, trust and surrender to the divine changed your destiny also. Death in the murderer's hand was reduced to only being wounded by him'.
DESTINY DEPENDS ON HOW YOU CHOOSE TO RESPOND TO EVERY SITUATION LIFE PRESENTS TO YOU!
Understand, destiny is not something written in stone. It very much depends on how you choose to respond to every situation life presents to you. Your awareness will give you the intelligence and the courage to change the flow of events in your life.
KARMA AND TIPS
If you don't know your past completely, you will repeat the same things in the future. If your thoughts per second(TPS) can come down and you know your past as it happened, you won't repeat the same past in the future. You will then become a karma muktha, liberated from karma. As of now you are a karma bandha, bonded to karma because you have not lived your past completely.
For example, your childhood always seems golden It is the golden past. You may feel your life in college was great, but when you were actually in college, you didn't really feel that way. Why? Because your suffering has become much more now and in comparison, the past seems very nice! Now you attribute you to your past and if given a chance you want to repeat it. When you lived through it, did you actually experience it? No!
If you can relax in the present moment, at zero TPS for atleast 11 kshanas, you will penetrate the time shaft. If you can stay in zero TPS for 21 kshanas, yo uwill penetrate the time shaft and can alter the future. This is in your hands.
All meditation techniques are ways to bring down your TPS so that you can penetrate the time shaft.
