What is the destiny that awaits each of us? Do we really want to know?

All of us want to look forward to the prospect of a life that’s new and exciting. When we’re hurting, we want to know when there will be a brighter day. We all want to believe in a future that is better than the life we are living right now, as if that would make us happier and more content.

But aren’t we far better off focusing on the present moment where our choices exist, rather than the unknown future? The only moment we have control over is this moment. What we do today determines what our life holds tomorrow. We can’t change the future or the past because they are intangible, but we can impact the present.

Only from today’s vantage point can we even remotely see what our life will be from this moment forward, and that projection is based on never making another decision or change that will alter the course of our life. We never know what lies ahead.

Our lives in this world have been strategically designed so that we will not know what our future holds. We are here to reach goals that we can only achieve by interacting in a fallible world. Everyone’s destiny holds adversity and challenge. How we cope with the challenges that lie ahead depends on how well we learn from our past experiences and our level of awareness as we walk through life.

The miracle of life is that we do not know how our story ends. But we CAN plant seeds today for the future we desire and we CAN find comfort in our hopes for tomorrow.

Love Always,
Randi

What does it mean to be selfless, and how can someone become more selfless in life?

According to the spiritual science of Akram Vignan, the meaning of ‘selfless’ is to live one’s life for the sole purpose of serving others, by whatever means one can and according to one’s skill set and ability; and to do so without expecting anything whatsoever in return. Param Pujya Dadashri, the founder of Akram Vignan, makes us understand how every living being’s life should be, through an illustration of the tree: “Do any of the fruit trees eat their own frui

How to Donate?

Worrying that your money will be used up cannot preoccupy you. Whatever money is spent is fine. The spending of money is encouraged because it destroys your greed and allows you to keep giving. Upyoga is awareness. When you do something auspicious or give to charity, give with the awareness and intent that others will benefit from your donation. Give anonymously in order to avoid fame.
