This discourse is in continuation of the question- Can yogis see the future?
Om Swami says, that here there is no use of kundalini, chakra or yog. Here the requirement is of one-pointed steadfastness in thinking, character and mind. And the person who has achieved all this will have all the siddhis in his hands and thoughts. They then just have to think and things happen. A yogi is a person who has one-pointed focus on how to live his life and how to do his work. Om Swami says, that it is possible upto a certain extent to say what may happen or not. But, if a person says with certainty and full confidence that certain things will definitely happen or will not happen in someone’s life then they are not telling the truth. He says, in actuality there is no way of proving if somebody’s future can be changed or not, but we can carry a belief that it may be possible to change, not change or sometimes be changed. But to try and prove this is not possible and highly foolish. Therefore, these questions do not carry much meaning.
But, if one is able to attain one pointedness in mind and consciousness and is able to fill their heart with compassion and empathy, then no siddhi is impossible for such a person. Such a person can not only see the past, present and future, but is able to bring such changes in other peoples lives that the impossible becomes possible.
Om Swami says, the present moment was your future at some point and this present moment will also become your past. So the present moment is of utmost importance. We ourselves are the ones who build our future and make our destiny. He says, there is surely an element of grace and there are sentiments too, and they do have an impact but that should not absolve anyone from their responsibilities in life.
