What is destiny?

Let’s see what Sadhguru is talking about it:

In this world it is a fact that - whenever you succeed it’s you and whenever you fail its destiny. Whenever you are successful you are proud of it, somewhere you are taking credit of it. Whenever you fail it must be God's will. Or anything you can’t understand has to be God's will.

So many things which were destiny few years ago are not destiny now. Like: 100 years ago you were young and you died at 30 years of age that was destiny. Now if you die at 30 today you know why. You are smoking, drinking, you are eating outside - you are killing yourself. We know the reason. So its not destiny anymore, we know why.

Still in villages if power goes off - people utters "... Hey lord, again power off ...Why this is happening with us". But you know that God is not responsible for the power cut rather Power Company or grid is.

So, lot of things which were destiny previously, is no more destinies now. Why? Because, our scope of understanding is increasing. As the scope of our understanding is enhanced, more and more things are coming out of list of destiny and becoming our own responsibility.

Everything is in our own hand. As our understanding and perception of life deepens we can see everything is in our own hand. If our understanding of life and perception is very superficial everything looks like its happening from some where behind.

What you call as destiny - those dimensions of life which we have created unconsciously. Whatever we create unconsciously can be created consciously too. If we are creating it unconsciously then it will look like destiny, if we do it consciously it will look like our own responsibility.

In our country there never been anything called destiny. Destiny definition came from other countries. In our country every time it was told that whatever you do you will be paid for it. 'Karma'. You leave or die it’s your Karma. Karma means - your action. So you leave well or barely it’s your karma or action. May be large part of our actions are unconsciously. But that doesn't matter. Whatever we are doing - consciously or unconsciously is your own action. So when we say Karma - there is no destiny everything is yours.
