Spiritual destiny is manifested in the lives of those who stand out from the masses and actually do something, who live a creative life for the benefit of others.
Sivaya SubramuniyaswamiThe object in being on the spiritual path is not to have just a little influx of energy, but to be the energy itself - consciously.
Sivaya SubramuniyaswamiKarma is not fate, for man acts with free will, creating his own destiny. The Vedas tell us, if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concomitant reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determines our future.
Sivaya SubramuniyaswamiListen for silence in noisy places; feel at peace in the midst of disturbance; awaken joy when there is no reason.
