Destiny
Going through so many thoughts in my mind as to ‘why what happened, happened’ and “are we in control of anything at all”?, I walked into this person’s office. The office had a small meeting table, lots of books and a white board.
On the white board was this text from Brhadaranyaka Upanishad [it was also written in Sanskrit but I mention the translation below].
“You are your deep driving desires,
As your desire, so is your will.
As your will, so is your action.
As your action, so is your destiny”
Honestly, I would have never come across it if not for this meeting because I have not even known of this upanishad’s existence.?

This is the best text (so far) to make sense of my destiny; which initially looked like an ad-hoc plan.?
If you want to see how your destiny shaped up so far, at each milestone (good or bad); ask what was the deepest driving desire here?
You’ll get so many answers that will reveal to you who you really are. The catch is acceptance that it is a ‘deep driving desire’ even if it is not most suitable for your current situation or life.
