Annamalai Swami: Bhagavan is always present, inside you and in front of you. If you don't cover the vision of Bhagavan with your ego, that will be enough. The ego is the 'I am the body' idea. Remove this idea and you shine as the Self. That is the only thing you need to do in this life.
The various events of your life - all the things that are going to happen to you - they are all destined. If you don't want them to happen, they will still occur, even if you try to avoid them.
And if you want things that are not in your destiny, they won't come to you. There is no point worrying about the outer events of your life because you can exercise no control over these destined activities. Your responsibility in this life is to see who you are, not to rewrite your life script.
===========
Bhagavan addressed his mother in 1898 with these written words when she pressed him to return to Madurai: The Ordainer controls the fate of souls in accordance with their past deeds. Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try how hard you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to stop it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.”
