“Fortune-telling is the practice of predicting information about a person’s life. ”[1]
Here’s an easy way to predict your future: Look at your association. With whom do you spend most of your time? To whom do you listen with an open heart?
In the Bhagavad-gita, Lord Krishna says that our present character and situation are the result of our previous association:
“The living entity in material nature thus follows the ways of life, enjoying the three modes of nature. This is due to his association with that material nature. Thus he meets with good and evil among various species.”[2]
Obviously, then, the association we choose today will determine our future.
Therefore, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu recommends that we unreservedly keep association with pure devotees of Krishna.
“By associating with a devotee, one awakens his faith in devotional service to Krishna. Because of devotional service, one’s dormant love for Krishna awakens, and thus one’s material, conditioned existence comes to an end.”[3]
