Heart and Destiny..

Dear,
I have thought about it for long time why does the apparently visible tension between destiny and heart (will to better it) exists. Its true that if everything has been prerecorded why did men possess a heart. When we look at our self and the surroundings from the perspective of the world, there exists so much disparity , the feelings to do something evolves spontaneously where as the overview from the whole seems perfect. But this overview is visible only to a handful. Majority of us suffer and the truth is endlessly. What to do now ?
I think that there does not exist any tension. For most of us sufferings is a way of life and we accept it. There are some who fight against it. Sometimes they win sometimes they loose. In this process they develop a tendency of finding a permanent solution. They somehow can't compromise with the temporary solution. This tendency of theirs brings them to the search of truth. The search of truth brings them near to a person who knows it. A new learning process starts within themselves. He is made to recognize the cause of these problems which lies within the vicinity of their mind, not in the external world which they have earlier perceived. The solution thus changed, not to thrash the external chaos but to dilute the internal. But while going through the process, the faculties such as love, care, compassion, empathy etc are maximized within. Now the question is if nothing can be done then why these faculties magnify or enlarge? let us see an example of how a spiritual man provides a solution to a worldly problem.
1. "Sarada devi", the wife of " Sri Ramakrishna" once heard that one of her disciples lost her only son. When she went to the disciple's house she saw the disciple was crying very hard. She also started to cry more profusely then the disciple. Seeing her cry in such a way the pain of loosing her son vanished within the devotee. She hugged the divine Mother and said, Mother my pain is gone ,I am happy that I found you. And she really meant it .
2. The only son of a disciple of Lord Buddha died. The mother came running with a prayer to bring back her son from the claws of death. Lord Buddha said, "I will, but before that you have to bring a few mustard seeds from such a house where death did not enter". The disciple thought the work to be too easy. She went from one house to the next in search of mustard seeds where death did not enter, she searched till evening but she could not find such a house. She knew the truth of this world and did not struggle to accept it.
So, this is It my friend, this is the solution though we can't change the destiny, yet by feeling the pain of others we can minimize those to such a point which makes us easy to accept the inevitability. I welcome views and more discussion on this subject.
With love

(Anything which makes you feel for others are worthy. Sometimes I think what good I am to this world which is full of pain and sufferings. I am also trying to find an answer to this. I have seen my Master who dedicated His whole life for the propagation of Advaita among masses. I have seen strength coming out of factory workers, daily wage labors and very common people whom we ignore. I have seen the smile of freedom on their faces. I think this is the only solution, to preach unto mankind their divinity, oneness with the supreme. Worldly problems cannot be solved, this is a fact, lets culture the doctrine of courage and love.)
(Till you do not know the nature of Maya, its comparatively easy, you have somebody to blame. The problem starts when you start understanding the nature of Maya, it isn't still it is. The works of enlightened souls starts exactly after they have known Maya thoroughly. Its the third eye of Lord Shiva. Our scriptures have also supported this, Freedom of the Self and then work for humanity. Coming to a certain point, they also face the same question what we are discussing now. The solution they give is total acceptance and surrender. But, we have to work and then say this. Just by listening this from somebody or reading from somewhere won't help.)
