Can the destiny code be cracked? In this video, I explore how understanding the chain of events that shape our lives can empower us to take control of our future. Drawing from personal experience and a lesson I learned while training to fly, I analyse the importance of taking responsibility before it’s too late.

After six years, I am revisiting this post to shed more light on the principles of Karma, Karmayoga, Doership, and methods to manage one’s Karma.
Realisation is the crucial first step in managing and transforming your own Karma. Recognising that nothing is happening to you personally, but rather that all events in your life are the result of your Karma, which is shaped by your genetic inheritance, upbringing, education, and experiences—can open a new path for you. This awareness allows you to take corrective measures and actively alter the course of your life.
Blaming others for your circumstances and failing to take action to change them is a futile use of your time and energy.
Those who delve into the Srimad Bhagavad Gita recognise that attachment is the root of negative emotions such as sadness, dejection, anger, jealousy, and hatred. Attachment to the outcomes of one’s actions can diminish concentration and efficiency, causing immense pain when goals are not achieved.
One effective approach to reaching the ultimate goal is through Karma Marga—the path of righteous action performed without attachment to results. This practice ensures mental equilibrium, even in challenging circumstances.
Bhagavan Krishna imparted to Arjuna the significance of being a Karmayogi and provided guidance on adopting this path.
A common question from those unfamiliar with Karmayoga is, “How can one work without considering the outcome or aiming for a result?” This question arises from a misunderstanding of Krishna’s teachings, which emphasise that a doer should be entirely focused on their objective: SBG 2:41 “In this path, O Arjuna, there is a single point of focus and determination. The thoughts of the undecided are branched and are infinite.”
Attachment to results can lead to a loss of focus, as individuals may become preoccupied with the rewards of success or the fears of failure—scenarios that are purely speculative. This mental diversion compromises the quality of their work, steering them towards mediocrity.
Dive into the profound wisdom of Stoicism and Vedanta to overcome fear and build inner resilience. In this video, we explore practical techniques and timeless teachings from these ancient philosophies that guide us in facing our fears with courage and clarity. Discover how understanding the nature of fear and applying these insights can lead to a life of greater peace and strength.

To rekindle love with the same person is to engage not with the individual afresh but with the echoes of memories. This profound realisation speaks to the heart’s intrinsic tendency to seek comfort in the familiar, often failing to distinguish between past and present.
When you attempt to fall in love a second time with the same person, it is not the person themselves that you are drawn to, but rather the nostalgic recollections of who they once were in your life. The heart, in its yearning, seeks not the present reality but the cherished illusions of the past. This longing is similar to chasing a mirage, where the closer you believe you are to reclaiming that love, the further you drift from the truth of the now.
Memories hold a powerful sway over us. They encapsulate moments of joy, connection, and intimacy, making them seem far more vibrant than the reality might have been. Everyone changes in life. Their looks, likes, dislikes, attitudes, expectations from others, and overall philosophy of life keep changing. When a person endeavours to rediscover a lost love, the truth is that they are not engaging with the person as they are in the present moment, with all their growth, changes, and complexities. Instead, they entwine themselves with the shadows of what once was, rather than the essence of what is.
This pursuit is fraught with peril. It sets us on a path where the idealised past overshadows the potential of the present. The beauty of memory lies in its ability to preserve moments, yet its danger resides in its capacity to imprison us within them. By constantly looking backwards, we risk missing the opportunities for genuine connection and growth that exist in the present.
To truly understand the nature of love is to recognise its fluidity. Love is not a static entity that can be perfectly recaptured once lost; it is an evolving force that thrives in the present moment. Embracing this perspective allows us to honour our memories, all of which are learning experiences, without becoming enslaved by them, and opening ourselves to the possibility of new experiences and deeper connections.
In the end, the quest to fall in love again with the same person teaches us a poignant lesson: the past, with all its beauty and pain, should be cherished but not clung to. The essence of true love lies in its ability to adapt, to grow, and to find beauty in the present, rather than in the shadows of what once was.
