Create Your Own Destiny

SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV





All along, you've been shaping your destiny unconsciously .But you can also work on it consciously . If you make the effort to access your core and realise that everything is your responsibility , and shift your focus inside you, then you can rewrite your destiny . Those who are in a hurry to grow spiritually avoid getting into marriage, children and relationships because the moment you have a spouse, and children, you get identified with them. Once you get identified with them, one by one you get identified with too many things. Your identity gets scattered.However, searching for the real `you' does not mean denial of family or social situations. The root of all identification is in the two fundamental accumulations: body and mind.
Once removed from these two, `you' become free from all identifications. In this freedom, you become the master of your own destiny .
The significance of Sanyasa or Brahmacharya is just this: Shifting the whole focus to you. When I say you, it is just `you', not your body or mind. If you are unable to be like that, you just choose one more identity .
When you say `you', make it `you and your Guru'. You attach yourself to the Guru without any hesitation, because you have no entanglements from the other side. You can get as entangled as you want with him; for he is not going to get entangled. The moment you are ripe, you can drop the relationship.
