Without knowing who we are or the self before death arrives is like living a dream.
And in a dream we never know we are in a dream first, and where we will wake up after the dream second.
Calling enlightenment destiny creates an illusionary thought, that it will happen automatically, eventually since its a destiny, destiny means it will happen for sure.
But it is not like that, to attain enlightenment one has to seek it, practice it.
Every human has two options, to live the life with nature like any other animals do OR to rise above the nature, this possibility is true for humans only. So, its not a matter of time its a matter of doing it.
After enlightenment you will know, you are in a dream, and where will you wake up, what else is needed in this life? You know everything then.

Nalopakhyanam - A Katha one should hear to get rid of effects of Kali Purusha 🙏🏼🍀
There lived a king called Bhima who ruled a kingdom called Vidarbha. He was a great ruler. He had no santaan and wished to serve a great Rishi called DAMANUDU along with his wife in forests.
With the blessings of Rishi, king and queen were blessed with 3 sons and 1 daughter. Daughter was named Damayanti. She was very beautiful and graceful that even gods also wanted to have her as their Devi. In another kingdom called Nishadha, King veerasena has a son Nala Maharaja
Nala had a graceful body and he was Ajaanubaha like Shree Rama. He was a great chakravarti, gunvaan, and a great warrior who was an expert in Ashwavidhya. One day Nala catches a swan. The swan prays maharaja to leave it free and it will sing the glory of him to Damayanti
Gyan Yoga (Sundar/Beautiful): Once a person conquers the Rajo-guna and identifies himself with absolute, all his past deeds are freed, be it good or bad. Would merge within the supreme without any Karma lingering BG 6.27
Karma Yoga : The true Sanyasi is the one who lets go the fruits of Karma, because a person cannot get rid of doing (good/ugly) Karma due to material nature influence. But those who have renounced the fruits of action are unaffected and would get Moksha; others get mixed fruits.
A Note : The Tilaka commentary of Nāgeśa Bhaṭṭa on Ayodhya-kāṇḍa, Sarga 56 (50 in CE), Verse 1, clarifies that the popular notion is not supported by Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, but the legend is so beautiful and underrated.
It starts with "Laughter of Lakshmana" !
The Laughter of Lakshmana:
After defeating Ravana, Rama returns to Ayodhya, along with his wife and brother Lakshmana. Later, Rama was crowned in the presence of all the Gods, sages and others.
यमलोक सब ओर से छियासी हज़ार योजन विस्तृत है । वहां नाना प्रकार के भयानक रूपधारण करने वाले यमदूत रहते हैं और उन्हीं के कारण वह पूरी बड़ी भयङ्कर प्रतीत होती है दुष्टात्मा, क्रूर एवं पापी पुरुषों के लिए यमपुरी दूर होने पर भी निकट सी ही प्रतीत होती है ।
वे तीखे काँटों से युक्त, कंकड़ पत्थरों से विभूषित, छुरे की धारों से आच्छादित और तीक्ष्ण पत्थरों से निर्मित मार्ग से यात्रा करते हैं ।
निकृष्ट मार्ग से यमराज के नगर में गए हुए पापी जीव आज्ञा मिलने पर दूतों द्वारा यमराज के सम्मुख पहुंचाए जाते हैं ।
वहां चित्रगुप्त उन पापियों को धर्मोपदेश करते हुए उनके पापों का स्मरण करते हैं । तब उन्हें पाप से शुद्ध करने के लिए यमदूत नरक के समुद्र में डाल देते हैं ।
नरकों की अट्ठाइस श्रेणियां हैं, जो सातवें पाताल के अन्त घोर अन्धकार के भीतर स्थित है -
The Bhagavad Gita portions are in fact a live running commentary by Sanjaya to Dhritarashtra. The author Sri Vyasa in Mahabharata gives Bhagavad Gita to us through Sanjaya only.
One (Arjuna) listened Srimad Bhagavad Gita directly in front of Lord Krishna. One with divine vision (and ear, both given by Vedav Vyasa) at the Hastinapura palace also listened (Sanjaya). One more heard the running voice commentary through Sanjaya (the king Dhritarashtra).
Morning Satsang : Vanquishing Pride is True Sacrifice
Can we describe the colour of water? God is, likewise, indescribable. His appearance is like what you imagine Him. We see Him according to the magnitudes and proportions of our various passions.
The more mitigated one’s passions, the nearer one is to the true perception of Him. It is unwise to ask how a single Rama can be perceptible to many at the same time, for He is omnipresent, subtly inherent in all creation.
The Ultimate Reality is neither born nor dies; it exists everywhere, timelessly. Why, then, some may ask, celebrate His birthday? It is like this: some children were rollicking in the hall of the house, unaware that grandpa was at home and in the adjoining room;.....
