How to change the destiny
The path from duality to oneness is our true destination. Humans create separation by claiming their master, god, or path is superior. This is dualism. All paths and masters ultimately lead to the same one. Animals fight for territory, claiming "mine," but humans create more duality through different languages and religions. A story illustrates this: two disciples argued over who best served their master, each pulling the guru's leg, causing suffering. The guru explained the leg belonged to neither disciple but to the one whole being. Another parable tells of a disciple whose nature remained that of a mouse despite being transformed into a tiger; when tasting the guru's blood, it claimed "It is my blood," revealing an unchanged, possessive nature. Humans must be careful, for our inherent nature dictates our actions. Understanding comes from knowing one's origin. Astrological science, or Jyotiṣ, reveals the constellation of one's birth and the lines of destiny in the palm. Only the guru's grace can alter that destined line. The practice turns inward through prāṇāyāma, moving from the physical to the energy body to find unity within.
"All paths and masters ultimately lead to the same one."
