DESTINY

The universe and everything in it, was created with its charachteristics pre-determined and its behaviour intrinsically programmed in it by nature life. As Albert Einstein has said- the universe is too organized to be the result of an accident.

The modern age of science and technology is the living testimony of human attributes i.e. to harness nature. Science functions on the firm basis of the laws of nature being consistent. the universe is functioning under the laws of nature and it is called its destiny.

With regards to man's destiny, at present, the idea of pre-destiny of man has attained the sanctity of human life. This idea has spread the notion that dominance and subjugation, status, wealth, happiness and tragedy, success and failure etc.are pre-destined and no human effort can alter it. Thus, the popular saying one should be content with whatever state one is in. What then should be said for the oppressor, tyrant, cruel and exploiters? The paradoxial behaviour to this is evident in cases like illness, murder etc. where all efforts are employed to change the course of events. Furthermore, the idea of pre-destiny makes a mockery of our judicial machinery, why punish a criminalwhem he/she only was an instrument in the plan of things pre-decided at the birth of universe? Therefore the traditional notion of man's pre-decided destiny does not hold any ground whatsoever.

All human social problems are of our own making and only we ourselves can solve them as we are fully capable of and responsible for doing it.

The focal point is the law of returns- every human action bears a result, sooner or later. That makes man responsible for his actions. This is the real destiny.
