Approach God: Among the methods of approach to God, there are
(1) worship to overcome troubles, (2) worship to gain wealth, etc., (3) loving dedication of oneself.
The last one is the best and surest in its results.
Destiny:
Predestiny or divine will is powerless before Him. Every one knows how He set aside predestiny and divine laws in the case of His famous devotee, Markandeya. The current notion that one cannot escape one's destiny is applicable only to weak-minded and senseless wastrels. Yogis who practice control of breath conquer fate. Even fate cannot impose its fruits on yogis.
Destiny seizes and holds only senseless people. Conforming to and following nature, destiny forms part of nature. Nature again is only the contrivance for enforcing God's will. His purpose is always sure and cannot be prevented. Its edge can, however, be blunted by devotion to Him and if it is not so blunted, the predisposing cause must therefore be considered a most powerful factor in a man's life.
