Heaven's Will seems to be an elusive concept in both Eastern and Western culture, many layperson's understanding of that is just ‘Anything happen to me must be the will of heaven, otherwise it wouldn't happen.’ My thought on this is Heaven's Will does manifest through the History of mankind, and the vehicle which it express itself is through the individual psychology of human being. I name this concept Psycho-religion.
How does one knows about Heaven's Will? One just need to introspect intensively. Once one understand and appreciate the uniqueness of oneself, one already know how Heaven's Will manifest on oneself. It is akin to know the purpose of your existence though it is less intellectual. Once you know what you are good at and what you are bad at, then you know the purpose of existence in Heaven's Will must be related to your ability to perform certain action under certain situation. Although it is difficult to tell exactly what the Heaven-given-goal, it is however to logically infer Heaven wouldn't prefer a cook to do a sailor’s work if it ‘want’ that to be done nicely. Heaven's Will is more like a general direction of how humanity develop but not how individual of us develop, and it is reflected in the individual psychological level.
