Destiny is the inviolable thing. You cannot get rid of it. You have to reach there. So, better choose in favour of your destiny. Now, destiny is something that can, at most, keep waiting till eternity. But you can never dismiss it. So, make a choice in the favour of destiny. Bow down to your destiny, surrender to your destiny. If it has to happen, why keep postponing it? Because that postponement is just suffering. Destiny is love. Destiny is what each of us craves, is crazy for.

Questioner: Good evening, sir. My question is somewhat related to your first answer. So, like, Swami Vivekananda Ji has said that you are the creator of your own destiny. Right? Similar things exist in different literature. But, let’s say when we plan out something to achieve, and if we are not able to achieve that, how should we figure out where things went wrong?
Many times, we plan something, thinking that we want to create our destiny. I'll achieve this because I am responsible for this, and I’ll perform my action. But when the results are not according to what we started with, how do we figure out where things went wrong?
Acharya Prashant : Destiny is not achievement and consumption. That’s the assumption you are coming from, friend. Destiny is not about reaching a great place of achievement. That’s how popular culture presents it. That’s not how Swamiji thought of it. Destiny is not about becoming a CEO. Destiny is not about earning that kind of money or clearing an entrance exam or reaching a particular post, or winning an election. That’s not destiny.
