DESTINY

NO DESTINY

OR

These are the two options that your mind has

come up with.

One - all is predestined, with we being the

enactors of God’s pre-scripted will.

Two - there is nothing pre-scripted, there is no

God. Whatever is happening is happening out of

the forces of the universe.






In both these options the underlying assumption is

the Same.Excerpts from the article: Worldly man-Slave of destiny





The underlying

assumption is that there is:






The assumption is that there is a stream of time.

The assumption is that ‘cause and effect’

is reality.Excerpts from the article: Worldly man-Slave of destiny





Before asking

That

“Whether or not there is a God that is causing all this?”

is it not prudent to first ask

whether anything is happening at all?Excerpts from the article: Worldly man-Slave of destiny





Humans EXPLAIN?Plants

TimeEXPLAIN?

Creator and

Creation

Universe EXPLAIN?

Cause and

Effect

See, who is your God?

Your God is an agency that you require to explain the universe.

You wonder that there must be something in time, in past that has created all this.

That is how you come to God. God, the principal creator, that is how man comes to God.






So in coming to God first of all you are assuming that there is this creation.

Is this there?

This has to be there, so that your God may exist.

And if it turns out

That there is some lacuna here itself, in the first step, then there is no point in discussing some creator God.






Your senses tell you that the world exists,

and at the same time your senses are a part of the world.

There is no verification for the world, accept your senses.











Who is telling you that time really exists?











First of all That

Supreme independent agency

Cannot be a part of this (world) as you see it right now,

and it cannot be a part of

The stream of time.Excerpts from the article: Worldly man-Slave of destiny





So let’s not search for creation in the past.

Because the past itself denotes time, and there is no time.

Time itself is a fallacy.

Let’s not say that God created the world and God pre-scripted our destinies.






• It is not in the past.

• And if it is not in the past, where could it be?

• Obviously not in the future.






This that is not a part of time

This from which all time emerges

This from which all imaginations of time arise

But this, which is not a part of timeExcerpts from the article: Worldly man-Slave of destiny





God is here

Now, a God like this, that is not in the past, that cannot have a physical form, that cannot be spread out in

space, how do I talk about it?

Obviously he cannot be a part of any of our concepts, because all of our concepts will require time and space,

otherwise there can be no conceptualization.

How do we say anything on a subject involving God?






thoughts concepts





















“So universe is just an

imagination, the source of

which is God. Who is

imagining?

You are imagining.”






“God did not come and create the birds,

God did not make the planets.

The planets are all yours, the birds are all yours, the body is all yours, you are

creating it.”

“All that is real here, is as real as you are.”






What is the space for D E S T I N Y in all this?

The universe is just a network of ’cause and effect’. And

everything that you see operating here is surely mechanical and pre-destined.

There is nothing here that is not caused by something else. So

your question is,

‘Are we just slaves of destiny?’

Yes, we are. We surely are slaves of destiny, there is no doubt about it.

But,

“To the extent you are a part of the universe, you are a slave of destiny.”

“To the extent you are a son or daughter of the Source, you are not a slave of destiny.”

BUT,
















The one who is outside the world, goes outside the death.

The body will die, this can never escape destiny. The body will die.

But there is something else that is outside destiny.

You must find it out.

It is your very center






That is the point where contentment lies, that is the point where your search ends, that is your very center, very source.
