Is our life destined?
We have a privilege to choose every path in our day to day life, but is that choice is predestined? We need to understand how free will and karma works.
When you are born, you are gifted with some inherent behavior and nature. Over a period of time, you are filled with new behavior and sanskara from our closed ones. Moreover, over a period of time you perform certain duties based on your inherent nature and new qualities. Those are your karmas. Those karmas over a period of time become your nature or sanskara. Once your nature is developed, you do not need to do any karma, your karma just happened based on your nature. You decide your choice based on your nature and inherent behavier.
So your karma is based on your nature, and your nature is developed from your karma. So, how to decide our life destiny and are we able to change destiny?
Destiny is transient in nature, changing at each moment. We have free will to change our nature and do good karma. Based on our karma, our destiny is decided. If we have started doing good things, then eventually good things will fall in place. That's our destiny based on our karmas.
But is it also fixed or decided if we will change our nature and perform good karmas ? Also, what are the qualities that decides the human nature? How 3 qualities - Satva, Rajas, and Tamas play role in life?
