Jai Guru Dev,

Please can anyone tell me, if we at all have a choice in life or everything happens as per Gods will ?

Guruji says consider past as Destiny and future as there is choice, But on observation it seems to be like even the thoughts that i get are all pre defined and planned and everything and everyaction is happening as per Gods plan and wish...

please can anyone help me understand this.

Jai Guru Dev.

CHOICE

Dear Devotee,

In reply to your question, let me re-produce the following weekly Knowledge from Gurudev;

Each experience brings completeness. Completion means being led to void or nothing. In the progression of life, you will leave behind every experience saying, “This is nothing.” Anything that is completed loses its importance. It leads you to void – it is nothing.

A sign of intelligence is how soon you arrive at this understanding. Examine everything in life and say, “This nothing” and what remains is love, and that is everything. When “this is nothing” does not come out of knowledge, it will come out of misery. Either through knowledge or through misery, you come to the point of “this is nothing, this is nothing.” The choice of how you come to the point is yours.

hope you will find your answer here.

Regards,
Goutam
