Let’s move 5000 yrs. back to Kurukshetra where Lord Krishna is advising Duryodhana. He is requesting him not to fight because it will destroy everything, it will kill all his relatives. He says, “why don’t you give a little share of your kingdom to your cousins and stop this battle? “This is your Dharma”.

But the most egoistic person, Duryodhana refuses to listen to him. He says, “Don’t give me Gyan. I know all this. But I can’t control my desire.”

Our ego prevents us from listening to good things. But in a second we can change our whole world. Due to bad habits we are not ready to accept new knowledge. We refuse to adopt new knowledge. This is due to some of our bad habits. We are born with some original sanskars which may be good or bad. But if we get a good environment and good knowledge then we can prepare a good mind set (Vrati). We can change our bad sanskars. Our mind thinks and our intellect judges and what we do again and again that becomes our habit. This sanskar makes our subconscious mind, which occupies 90% of our mind and 10% is our conscious mind which is Vrati.
We can change our subconscious mind by good thoughts and by listening to good things. We can determine whether we will leave this world as Duryodhana, Arjuna or as Lord Krishna.
Can’t we change our habits? Yes we can change our deep rooted Sanskars with the help of our conscious mind. We can also change our destiny.

If you listen to good things daily and imbibe them through your actions and put some good thoughts in your conscious mind then you can change your whole behavioural pattern.

We need not copy others.
“Watch your thought—it becomes your action,
Watch your action—it becomes your habit.
Watch your habit—it becomes your destiny
Watch your destiny–it becomes your character.

So you can change your destiny and make a bright future. Try to choose the best path and delete all other choices which stop you from progressing.

Remember you can change your thought pattern. Try to grow like a child and improve your conscious mind.
