Radhe Radhe Radhe Govinda - Prasanthi Mandir Bhajan

Q&A session lead by Swami Sarvapriyananda as part of a spiritual retreat at the Vedanta Society of New York on February 9th, 2020. List of questions with timestamps:
• 6:25 --  How to know the Self when It cannot be objectified? Is inference sufficient?
• 27:30 -- While we agree that waking, dreaming, and deep sleep are experienced in consciousness, why can't we say that they are real instead of unreal since they are indeed experienced? 
• 44:50 -- If the realization of atman is an experiential reality, then why is there a logical conflict between different spiritual traditions? Does it mean that the realized master's have different experiences?
•  54:35 -- If consciousness illumines Maya, then why does it need the support of Maya to realize itself?

The question asked in the discourse was - What is destiny vs. how much of it do we control karma. 

Destiny is not something that can be proven. When someone is hit with a brick in their head, they look around and question why this happened to them. On the contrary, if someone gets a million dollars, no one questions why they got it. But when we go through a tough time, that's when we question if it is destiny or what did I do in my life to deserve something like this. The truth is, anything can happen to anyone. It doesn't matter how good your karma or how sound your destiny is. One must always work in life believing in karma; destiny can only play a role if you become a worthy recipient. 

When something doesn't happen in our life, where do we look for answers? Do we look for answers in things we don't control, in which case we will end up blaming someone or something else. Or should we look for answers within? In fact, that is the whole journey of awakening, that we look within for all our answers. When we do this, chances are that we realize somewhere we are responsible for the issues we face.

"Instead of thinking of destiny or free will, begin with the assumption that you can transform your life, you can master yourself and you can write your future. Once you set your mind, give your everything to make it happen. Whatever be the outcome, the journey itself becomes every bit worthwhile. Why live any other way?" https://os.me/destiny-or-free-will-what-do-you-choose/
