The Supreme Yoga That Liberated Lord Ram | Yoga Vasistha
Destiny is simply the limitation imposed by an already exercised freedom of choice, or what is commonly called free will” - William Kingsland
Rishi Vasistha, a Vedic revered sage considered one of the mind sons of Brahma, was a peace-loving selfless sage who taught humanity to end their sufferings through the means of self-effort.
Yoga Vasistha is a text written as a dialogue between Rishi Vasistha and Lord Rama about the nature of life, Creation, free will, spiritual liberation, and so on. It presents the ideas of Vedanta and Yoga.
Rishi Valmiki, who probably resided during 500 BCE is attributed as the composer of this marvelous text. He is believed to have got the intuition of Rama’s period through his meditative powers and wrote the epic Ramayana along with Yoga Vasistha.
Vasistha taught Rama that self-knowledge is the ultimate solution to all human sufferings and can never be achieved without strong determination and will to know the nature of self.
According to Vasistha, destiny is nothing but good or bad results of our own efforts put forth in the past including the willful actions of our past lives that are ready to fructify.
He believed that the present actions done with unflinching determination could change the course of destiny.
The efforts made in the past and the efforts being made now oppose each other or support each other based on their directions and the stronger one wins.
Everyone therefore should exert to the fullest extent possible to negate the evil effects of fate and not yield by thinking of it as anything other than the results of your past actions.
Self-effort is therefore of supreme importance in attaining self-knowledge to deter all the challenges in one’s journey.
