What is fate?

Is life predestined?

Well, yes and no!

I said yes because of course, being such a tiny piece of the Universe, can you really plan well for yourself? 

What do you know?

And I said no because you still get freedom enough to choose, to not live a robotic life.

So life is predestined but has set not one but many plans for you. Probably like a million at least. Maybe more, but not less.

Have you watched Money Heist? The Spanish series?

If yes, it will not be hard for you to understand Fate and Karma.

If you haven’t, I’ll explain.

There’s this professor who makes a team to achieve a goal.

The goal was the heist but the entire story that ran around it is how your life’s journey is.

To reach the goal, the professor trains the team with a few rules to follow blindly, with trust in the professor.

One of the very important rules for the heist was, “No personal relationships”.

Why would it bother the professor?

Any clue?

Let me tell you.

Relationships need one thing, and that is “Emotions”.

Without emotions, no relationships exist.

But, the consequence of losing yourself in emotions is “Emotional damage”.

Where there is damage, there is disruption.

Damage of emotions leads to disruption of plans.

Here begins the understanding of Fate and Karma.

Fate has many plans set for you. It serves you a menu of choices.

You choose, and there comes a prepared dish.

You may like it, or, you may not, if you have ordered it, you will have to pay the price.

You can’t be relieved of it.

The same thing is true with Fate and Karma.

You have gotten the best and the worst fate already written for you.

What you choose will decide where you’re led.

You can reach the best fate, the worst fate, or somewhere along those lines. 

What matters is what you choose.

If it is that simple, why does life get all messy all the time?

‘Emotions’ is your reason.

One rule is “No personal relationships”.

Since it is not a heist but life, you can have relationships but personal here means, ‘Attachments‘. You love everyone but don’t get attached to a soul.

Didn’t Lord Krishna say the same in ‘Bhagavad Gita‘?

“Moh ka tyag karo.”

“Give up attachments.”

The Money Heist series is a reminder from God. Well, who planned the series? Of course, him, of course, fate.

Choice brought it to life.

Hence, ‘attachments’ lead you to an emotional damage. The damage that leads to the destruction of your life. 

Therefore, everything is predestined and yet depends on your karma, on your choices, on what YOU want!

Better choices lead to heists being well executed.

Worst choices lead to the other side of it.

And when do you make the worst choices? 

When you’re emotionally unbalanced. 

Also remember, just like the professor, God has a rescue plan all the time, only if you trust him enough. His plans are beyond your grasp. Whenever you turn to the wrong side, he will change your path right at that moment, like Google Maps.

If you by any chance end up choosing wrong for yourself, you will have to face the consequences, yet there’ll be a rescue plan in action for you. 

So, believe in the professor, believe in God, and believe in your Fate, actually, a good fate.

Choose wisely!

Now, where does Karma stand?

Karma is the energy you put out.

You put out good, you will end up choosing good.

Good Karma activates God in you.

Bad Karma deactivates God in you.

Good karmas make you choose the best.

Bad karmas, on the other hand, convince you to choose bad by making it appear good.

You will only feel you’re choosing good for yourself, you’re choosing happiness, yet you’ll end up in misery later.

Why else people are so happy while taking an action and yet end up in a miserable state eventually?

Because they put out wrong actions, actions that aren’t God-like. Actions that are ALWAYS self-oriented.

One must act to balance the needs of all. Not only theirs, not only people’s.

You shouldn’t please people, yet shouldn’t only please yourself.

Balance dear, balance!

So, Fate and Karmas are for real.

This is how they operate side by side.

No fate is final.

No karma alone will decide for you.

Your good karmas will make you ‘choose’ wisely, which further activates the respective fate set for the choice of the path you made and it goes on like that until the day to leave arrives.

Until the work and purpose of God is done. 

You, then, either go back to God – ‘the Eternal joyful state’, if you have cleared all the levels of the game OR get prepared to reflect on the mistakes and begin playing from the start of the level where you went wrong, as you do in a video game.

This is how your Fate and Karma operate simultaneously.

Whether you have watched Money Heist or not, I recommend you watch it again, but this time, look at the professor as God, and his team members, as you.

Fate and Karmas will then not be alienated from you.

May you receive your ‘Eternal joyful state’ soon!

Happy playing! 🙂
