[QUOTE="Embers, post: 169119, member: 9385"] Hello Ishna Ji, Sat Siri Akaal. I can offer an answer based on my personal view to get the ball rolling. I think this is perhaps one of the most challenging questions. For me, destiny, fate and anything which is pre-ordained is equivalent in meaning to Hukam; the Lord's command. How would you feel if you knew that every action, every word was already pre-ordained by a God without hate ( nirbẖao nirvair)? Would there be need for concern? My reasoning is that if I consider that what ever happens to me will be pre-ordained then I feel a sense of acceptance. It is important to note that with acceptance there is still a place for chardi kala, there is still action and choices to make, some easy some hard. However there is a sense that what ever happens my Lord will see me through. There is nothing I need to crave or avoid, come what may. :sippingcoffeemunda: This acceptance is the acceptance of Hukam. To an outsider, they will see me act just as before, however I know that in my heart I have completely accepted Waheguru and with it peace will fill my mind. Ego, fear, sloth and hatred will diminish as infinite love fills my being. Here is some quotes from Gurbani which I hope emphasise my points above; Page 9, Line 1 ਗਾਵਨਿ ਤੁਧਨੋ ਜਤੀ ਸਤੀ ਸੰਤੋਖੀ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਤੁਧਨੋ ਵੀਰ ਕਰਾਰੇ ॥ गावनि तुधनो जती सती संतोखी गावनि तुधनो वीर करारे ॥ Gāvan ṯuḏẖno jaṯī saṯī sanṯokẖī gāvan ṯuḏẖno vīr karāre. The celibates, the fanatics, and the [B]peacefully accepting[/B] sing of You; [B]the fearless[/B] warriors sing of You. Guru Nanak Dev Page 209, Line 10 ਮਾਨਿ ਆਗਿਆ ਸਰਬ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਏ ਦੂਖਹ ਠਾਉ ਗਵਾਇਓ ॥ मानि आगिआ सरब सुख पाए दूखह ठाउ गवाइओ ॥ Mān āgi▫ā sarab sukẖ pā▫e ḏūkẖah ṯẖā▫o gavā▫i▫o. [B]Accepting the Command of the Lord's Will, I have found total peace[/B]; the home of suffering has been destroyed. Guru Arjan Dev Page 896, Line 4 ਬਿਨੁ ਮਾਨੇ ਰਲਿ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਖੇਹ ॥ बिनु माने रलि होवहि खेह ॥ Bin māne ral hovėh kẖeh. [B]Without accepting[/B], you shall mingle with dust. Guru Arjan Dev Page 948, Line 7 ਸਭੁ ਇਕੋ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਮੰਨਿਐ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈ ॥੩॥ सभु इको हुकमु वरतदा मंनिऐ सुखु पाई ॥३॥ Sabẖ iko hukam varaṯḏā mani▫ai sukẖ pā▫ī. ||3|| The Hukam, the Command of the One Lord is [B] all-pervasive; accepting it, peace is found. [/B]||3|| Guru Amar Das Page 1085, Line 9 ਰੰਗਿ ਰਤੇ ਤੇਰੈ ਦਾਸ ਅਪਾਰੇ ॥ रंगि रते तेरै दास अपारे ॥ Rang raṯe ṯerai ḏās apāre. [B]Your slaves are imbued with Your Infinite Love.[/B] Guru Arjan Dev Others will disagree, as before, the perception of free will and Hukam has to be considered personally, in reflection to one's own actions and hence not everyone will agree with me. Meditation on this is key. The fact that everyone will not agree, is in my opinion, ultimately hukam, although it may mascaraed as choice. Consequently His slaves can be carefree and leave the results to the Beloved Lord mundahug . [/QUOTE]
