The body is made according to our past karma, and that is called destiny. And our destiny is made according to our actions in the material world. Therefore, our happiness and distress according to the body are already settled up. It is not possible change or improve our destiny by any natural, materialistic way. However, only by becoming Krishna conscious and surrendering to the Lord, one&amp;#039;s destiny can change; for only Krishna can change our karma, destiny. If we so desire. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This destiny is made by the living beings in course of social intercourse. Everyone here wants to lord it over the material nature, and thus everyone creates his own destiny under the supervision of the Supreme Lord. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.8.28)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{VaniQuotebox|Physical elements, nature, the original cause, culture, destiny and the time element are all material causes|The physical elements, nature, the original cause, culture, destiny and the time element are all material causes. Agitated by these material causes, the eleven functions transform into hundreds of functions and then into thousands and then into millions. But all these transformations do not take place automatically by mutual combination. Rather, they are under the direction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 5.11.11)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{VaniQuotebox|A man&amp;#039;s destiny is therefore ascertained by the birthtime constellation of stars, and a factual horoscope is made by a learned astrologer. It is a great science, and misuse of a science does not make it useless|The law of nature is so subtle that every part of our body is influenced by the respective stars, and a living being obtains his working body to fulfill his terms of imprisonment by the manipulation of such astronomical influence. A man&amp;#039;s destiny is therefore ascertained by the birthtime constellation of stars, and a factual horoscope is made by a learned astrologer. It is a great science, and misuse of a science does not make it useless. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.12.12)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;

Their destiny is certainly to take birth after birth in the species of atheistic and demoniac life|People jeer at Kṛṣṇa because they are envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Their destiny is certainly to take birth after birth in the species of atheistic and demoniac life. Perpetually, their real knowledge will remain under delusion, and gradually they will regress to the darkest region of creation. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(Bhagavad-gītā 9.12)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{VaniQuotebox|Yamaraja, the great controller of life after death, decides the living entities&amp;#039; destinies in their next lives|Yamarāja, the great controller of life after death, decides the living entities&amp;#039; destinies in their next lives.

A pure devotee does not pray for liberation or for cessation of the cycle of birth and death because he does not consider that important. The most important thing for a devotee is getting a chance to hear about the pastimes and glories of the Lord. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.30.33)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{VaniQuotebox|Anyone who surrenders to Krishna, his destiny is changed by the omnipotency of God|&amp;quot;Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the original Personality of Godhead, Govinda, Who regulated the sufferings and enjoyments of fruitive activity for everyone—from the heavenly King Indra down to the smallest insect (indra-gopa). That very Personality of Godhead destroys the fruitive karma of one engaged in devotional service.&amp;quot; So anyone who surrenders to Krishna, his destiny is changed by the omnipotency of God. He takes charge of the devotee and guides him how the devotee can go back to Home, Back-to-Godhead. This is the Mercy of God. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(Letter, 21 October 1975, Johannesburg )&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;}}&lt;br /&gt;
