Truly speaking, your destiny is what you wished for. playing along with your karma from past lives. GOD does not have anything to do with it.
So, lets imagine something simple first.
You get up one morning and you DESIRE to have ICE CREAM so go about arranging that for yourself.
You eat the ice-cream, enjoy it thoroughly along with your family.
But after sometime you catch a cold but no one else does and you realize that was because of the virus from the mild cold that you got 2 weeks ago got activated again.
So, if you see there’s a desire (to have ice-cream) and there’s an action/karma from the past (the virus from the cold 2 weeks ago getting activated) that created your destiny – you got a cold. The learning although for you would be – WAIT FOR 3–4 weeks after a cold TO HAVE ICE-CREAM
You can extrapolate the same concept to our life too. We have a desire that’s the very reason we are born and there’s baggage from past lives that we are carrying. Our destiny is an amalgamation of our desires and our karma from our past lives. We need to understand the purpose of our life is to LEARN – it can be learning about managing anger to be empathetic to be supportive to be charitable to help others, to be fearless, to be strong, to be dependable and dependent, to be modest humble, to be confident, it can be anything. But thing is until people learn what they have to learn, the situation will keep repeating. If you analyze people’s lives you will see these patterns.
So here are some cases of real people to drive down my point. I am considering these people cause their life is very well documented.
Case 1
Lets consider this guy – BILL GATES. All of us know he’s super rich (has been the richest guy in the world for the past 2 decades) until Jef Bezos (Amazon) overtook him.
We know he’s rich because of his MICROSOFT stocks.
We also now that he had a huge feud with APPLE FOUNDER STEVE JOBS
Its a story that’s known to even a primary school kid. In fact there was an entire movie made about it.
What people don’t now is that STEVE & BILL were friends before BILL released the WINDOWS OS in Nov 1985.
Steve Jobs had got BILL GATES to develop the OS for his MACINTOSH, BILL had developed an OS which was above average but Steve was not happy with the HW as well as the OS, so Steve delayed the launch of the product. This frustrated Bill, who eventually went behind Steve’s back, repackaged the OS that he built for Steve and launched it as WINDOWS. That’s the reason STEVE was super angry with Bill and decided he will do everything in-house (no outsourcing).
Bill made his money, but he continued his practice of pursuing money over moral values. He missed the internet bandwagon and that’s why he threw $400million in buying HOTMAIL.
That’s when the internet was picking up and a small company called NETSCAPE launched a software to BROWSE content on the internet called the NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR.
This did not go well with Mr GATES cause he thought it was his piece of pie and launched the INTERNET EXPLORER (which was at best a bad copy of NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR). NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR was charging a fee to people who would use it.
Mr Gates went out of the way to block NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR
- He also started porting INTERNET EXPLORER for free with WINDOWS
- As MICROSOFT WINDOWS was a monopoly in the OS market, he arm twisted Laptop Desktop manufacturers to BLOCK INSTALLATION of NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR in their machines
- He also added a SOFTWARE BLOCK to his WINDOWS OS so that NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR could not be installed in a machine running WINDOWS OS.
But this cut-throat brute force money over morals mentality landed him in an ANTITRUST LAWSUIT in 1997 (United States v. Microsoft Corp. – Wikipedia.). There was a public hearing. – here’s a YOUTUBE grab of it, its palpable to see the ONCE SULTAN OF THE SILICON VALLEY FUMBLE so much. It was one of GATES’s lowest point of his life.
Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson issued his findings of fact on November 5, 1999, which stated that Microsoft’s dominance of the x86-based personal computer operating systems market constituted a monopoly, and that Microsoft had taken actions to crush threats to that monopoly, including Apple, Java, Netscape, Lotus Software, RealNetworks, Linux, and others. Judgment was split in two parts. On April 3, 2000, he issued his conclusions of law, according to which Microsoft had committed monopolization, attempted monopolization, and tying in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Microsoft immediately appealed the decision.
On June 7, 2000, the court ordered a breakup of Microsoft as its remedy. According to that judgment, Microsoft would have to be broken into two separate units, one to produce the operating system, and one to produce other software components.
That’s when Mr GATES offered to step down as the CEO of MICROSOFT and stay away from day to day operations and only be involved in designing & defining long term strategy of the company.
In 2006 he got into PHILANTHROPY full time through the BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION.
His learning was to LET GO OF THE cut-throat brute force money over morals mentality.
Case 2
If you consider STEVE JOBS, he was a guy who did not know an iota of coding but he was at the helm of the TECH INDUSTRY at SILICON VALLEY.
If you read his biography, you will realize that he was an adopted child in pursuit of finding his real parents and a super eccentric egomaniac.
So, so how does his karma comeback to him
- Steve Wozniac his friend and co-founder of apple and the brain behind the first bunch of computers that apple manufactured (Apple I & Apple II) leaves him because of his eccentric behavior in 1985 – Steve Wozniak – Wikipedia
- Bill Gates was the next victim of Job’s stubborn, eccentric & EGOISTIC behavior during their collaboration for work on APPLE’s MACINTOSH because of which he went about launching WINDOWS OS the OS that he built for the MACINTOSH.
- Job’s crappy behavior puts him in cross hairs with Apple CEO who gets Jobs fired out of Apple in 1985
- Not many people know this but there was another similar episode that Steve had to experience. This was related to the iPhone. Google Founders Larry Page Sergey Brin were mentored by STEVE JOBS and he showed them the iPhone. Google wanted an OPEN SOURCE OS whereas JOBS was always for CLOSED & LOCKED way of doing things. So Google got frustrated with Job’s stubborn & egoistic behavior and took the idea, went behind Job’s back and brought a small MOBILE OS COMPANY called ANDROID and created the ANDROID enterprise and started in competition with the Apple iPhone – Apple’s Spat With Google Is Getting Personal (Published 2010)
If you see STEVE JOBS had to deal with repercussions of his bad behavior again and again because of his EGOISTIC, ECENTRIC & STUBORN PERSONALITY. It was kind of a pattern of his life.
Case 3
VIJAY MALLAYA – THE KING OF GOOD TIMES
- Vijay Mallaya had to take over the leadership of the LIQUOR EMPIRE his father VITTAL MALLAYA had created after the sudden demise of his father in 1983 at the age of 28.
- His only credential was that that he was the INDIAN GRAND PRIX champion. Which was an absolutely useless credential to run the LIQUOR business. He had to prove it to himself and others that he could run his father’s business.
- Drinking was seen as a TABOO in India. It was seen as a western thing, as a BRIT thing. Until the IT Revolution started and a place called THE PUB opened in BANGALORE in 1986 where the drinking culture was propagated and it was safe for even WOMEN to come and DRINK – Urban Legend: To the Good Times! Bottoms up
- VIJAY MALLAYA was inherently FLAMBOYANT and he made himself the center of the KINGFISHER MARKETING BLITZ. which helped propagate the DRINKING CULTURE amongst the younger IT CROWD. Liquor sales boomed. He made hostile takeovers (SHAW WALLACE was one of them).
- 8-Sep-2000 – is a big date for Vijay Mallaya cause advertising of ALCOHOL was banned in INDIA – Prohibited and controlled advertising in India | Lexology. So Mr Mallaya tarted something called the SURROGATE ADVERTIZING – it was the O LA LA LA OLE O campaign. Where Sourav Ganguly & Ajay Jadeja were peddling Kingfisher CLUB SODA
The main problem here was his FLAMBOYANCE. He launched KINGISHER AIRLINES and it had all the elements of his FLAMBOYANT personality.
Yes that worked to make KINGFISHER AIRLINE the best LOW COST airline in the country. He also did a hostile takeover of AIR DECCAN.
But what costed him dearly was to keep up his flamboyance and the flamboyance of his AIRLINE he started taking huge loans from the banks (IDBI especially). But the earnings were not at par with the loans he took. So he could not repay.
But then he bought a Cricket Team
& a RACING TEAM too
He was doing all this while HOLDING ON TO SALARIES of employees of KINGFISHER AIRLINES for 6+ months – Kingfisher cancels 31 flights as employees strike
The last straw was his 60th Birthday celebrations in his GOA FARMHOUSE. He called ENRIQUE IGLESIAS or the party.
Bankrupt, Kingfisher grounded, so what? Vijay Mallya’s 60th birthday bash in Goa to surprise all
Vijay Mallya Goes Down Partying
It piqued the UNPAID employees of KINGFISHER and that’s the reason for the public fury that led to government actions against him because of which he had to run away to UK.
He has lost everything, he sold off all his shares (UNITED BREWERIES) to DIAGEO, his cars, his goa farmhouse,. So he got to learn in a very difficult way that FLAMBOYANCE need to be curbed.
In conclusion I think it will be good to read MANY LIVES MANY MASTERS by Dr Brian Weiss (IVY LEAGUE AMERICAN Psychiatrist) and/or JOURNEY OF THE SOUL by MICHAEL NEWTON to get an idea of how we our souls plan our lives before physical birth happens.

Hope this helps you understand the works of DESIRE & Consequences of PAST LIFE KARMA and how they inter twine with each other to teach us our LIFE LESSONS.
Faster you learn, easier it is.
