In this world we are the whole and sole when it comes to take our decision. We think no one has better intelligence than me, to take the right decision.
But most the times we regret after taking decision without opinion from others. What we think is better for me is not always be better, but we only see the current situation and take decision on it.
In Srimad Bhagwatam Canto 1.18.12 it is mentioned when King Parikshit was about to fast until death on the bank of the Ganges when he got cursed from Sage Shringi.
Although the King had already decided to fast until death on the bank of the Ganges, he humbly expressed his decision to elicit the opinions of the great authorities present there.
Any important decision, however firmly fixed, should be confirmed by some authority. That makes the matter perfect.
Here we see King Parikshit was not an ordinary King but he was the ruler of whole world, but he also took opinion from great sages before taking the concrete decision.
So, in our life we must take opinion from great authority (Spiritual Master, Saintly Person, Vedic Scriptures) before taking the decision else we will only regret on it.
Youth think why I should go and ask to our parent, teachers and any others for each and every things? Now I am too matured to take my own decision.
But they are not aware of, there maturity only see one side of situation unable to see other side but person who has grown through life has a lot of experience can tell you the pros and cons of both the situation.
It is better to take opinion rather than feeling regret on our decision.
