He does not cling to anything

He the Self, is not this, not that.
He is ungraspable, for He is not grasped.

He is indestructible, for He cannot be destroyed,
He is unattached, for He does not cling to anything.
He is unbound, He does not suffer, nor is He injured.

-- Yajur Veda

The universe His heart

Fire is His head,
the sun and moon His eyes,
space His ears,
the Vedas His speech,
the wind His breath,
the universe His heart.

From His feet the earth has originated.
Verily, He is the inner Self of all beings.

-- Yajur Veda

Lord of the soul and of nature

He is the never-created creator of all:
He knows all.
He is pure consciousness,
the creator of time, all-powerful, all knowing.
He is the Lord of the soul and of nature
and of the three conditions of nature.
From Him comes the transmigration of life and liberation,
bondage in time and freedom in eternity.

-- Yajur Veda

Soaring mountain peaks

He is substance of every great eternal law,
And He can be perceived in the universal forces of life.
His presence is there in the vast seas,
Across the teeming earth,
And in the soaring mountain peaks.

-- Rig Veda

He is beyond anything

He is without any form,
yet dwells inside and outside all things With form and shape,
Yet He is entirely free of error, faultless and pure.
He is far beyond anything a human body can comprehend.
And being the Divine Poet. He is inspiration itself.
He maintains peace and harmony because He is both peace and
Harmony made manifest.

-- Yajur Veda

A place far beyond the knowledge

He is present in all places and rules everywhere.
His power controls utterly all the three regions:
Earth, the Middle-Air, and the highest heavens.
One foot is rooted in things we understand:
But the other rests in a realm of deep, dark mystery,
A place far beyond the knowledge of mankind.

-- Artha Veda

Failure keeps you humble

Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trails keeps you strong,
Sorrow keeps you human,
Failure keeps you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,
But only god keeps you going.

Do You Believe In Destiny?

Destiny is stronger than the will of man.

We have often heard that said, especially by those who renounce life, who prefer to walk with their heads bowed and their backs curved, because it's easier to do so than to confront events.

Hazard does exist, as do all the problems that plague men. That's a fact. But one should not seek to impose any intention on these things, as if there were a curse on humanity or some transcending evil.

Intelligence, an entrepreneurial spirit, courage and yes, even trickery, can affect the order of things. And why even assume that there is a pre-established order?

The will of men who are put to the test can often supercede the will of destiny.
