DESTINY

"Accept your destiny and go ahead with your life.

You are not destined to become an Air Force pilot.

What you are destined to become is not revealed now but it is predetermined.

Forget this failure, as it was essential to lead you to your destined path.

Search, instead, for the true purpose of your existence.

Become one with yourself, my son! Surrender yourself to the wish of God."

– Swami Sivananda to Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen (in 1958 at Rishikesh)
