The Kismet Connection- Can we change our fate?

Fate, Destiny, Nemesis, Kismet- known by thousands of adjectives, believed in by majority of people, is the development of events that happen outside one’s control and are regarded to be predestined.

Sometimes people wonder if fate is real or imagined, but karma is definitely one of the factors that influences the fate. We often marvel and look back into our past lives, wondering if it was bound to happen and if a change in our decisions could have led to a better or different outcome. That is when we also often think of ‘Kismet’, believing that few things are bound to happen a certain way because it was predestined.

Fate is believed to have been set by a number of factors, the karmas or deeds of previous births, spiritual tendencies of our soul gained by transcendent meditation or prayers of previous births and our own freedom of actions and ability to take decisions in the current life. The upbringing, family environment, social environment and companionship have a lot of influence on the way we think, act and take decisions in our current lives. It is believed that to complete the full circle of life and death, to achieve the human birth, one’s soul has to go through 84 lakhs birth and death cycles, embodying the trees, insects, birds, animals, finally reaching the human life. Since fate is affected by the karmas of previous birth cycles, our actions (positive or negative) from our previous lives affect our fate as human being.

We associate tragic incidences of our lives with fate, like accidents, illnesses and other materialistic losses too. One would believe that since the karmas are already done, there is humanly no way possible to go back in time and change them. True. So is there a way around? Yes.

Meditation- A form of prayer, continuous recital of holy words given by true spiritual saint is the only way through which we can change the consequences of the negative karmas done in the past. Meditation has the power to change the fates. Since times immemorial, true saints have sung the admirations of meditation through hymns and songs. Guru Nanak dev, Kabir das ji, Meerabai, Tulsi das ji, Sur das ji, all had laid emphasis on the oneness of God and perpetual meditation of the Supreme power to attain salvation and contentment in life.

How can you learn to meditate, and where will you find the true Guru who can teach you to meditate? A true Guru will be the guide to your soul, will take nothing in cash or kind and will be your lifecoach, helping you in every step that you take, internally and externally. In today’s world, Saint Dr Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan is such a lifecoach and true spiritual guide to more than 65 million people. He teaches the method of meditation through his holy discourses or Satsang. Millions of people have experienced life changing amendments since starting meditation. True Guru is the hand that holds your soul and guides it to the path of enlightenment, hence it is vital to reach out to the true spiritual master.

Satsang- a place where the true spiritual saints teach about self-awareness and provide tonic to soul in the form of God’s words, helps to cut down on the negative events of future.

As per Saint Dr Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, one should make meditation a part of daily routine. As and when the beings recite God’s name, listen to holy discourses and start living a genuinely authentic life, the negative penalties of the past actions start diminishing, their soul starts to grow powerful and feelings of transcendent happiness begin to take over. One begins to start noticing internal changes, growth of self-confidence and abilities to take a better decision as one continues to practice. Meditation is a very powerful tool, it heals the soul and body, it disrupts the vicious cycle of bad karmas and helps create new positive karmas, leading to change of human fate. Saint Dr Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan also emphasizes on the importance of doing good deeds, refraining from vices so that the positive actions have positive impact on future.

It is thus, a choice, an effort that human beings can make towards being able to live a better life and create their own fate, a choice that we all can make.
