Optical Illusion


Optical Illusion -

My morning travel to office is amazing. The pondering and realization is unbelievable.
How and Why do people fall in trouble and live in trouble?
I have been told multiple times by many of them about fate and destiny that both exist and are accepted by everyone. If it were so then we as human are nothing but "puppets without your strings in your hand".

I do not believe that is true, there is something else above and below fate, destiny whatever you want to call it.
So what is it? Now this is getting right down to very basic so please read carefully -
1) There is fate but you have ability to change the default.
2) Fate depends on your actions (karmas) done in the past. (below fate is your past).
3) The present hold keys to both your past and future (yes both past and future). (Above fate is your future).
4) Human mind was born free and as your past karmas start reaping results, the bondages are created.

Let us understand this with an example.
One family is going out for a vacation. As fate has it, they miss the train. Now missing the train was because of thier past karma or the joint energy imbalance (there is a science behind it that cannot be explained and only experienced). Now fate has created an incident, just an incident not the result. Now that you have missed the train you have 2 options - either to crib about it and blame each other (Note - A logical mind will try to reason and find problem, A person who works from heart will look at the solution at this point) or to look at the best next option and move On.
Simply put - the fall and uprise is guided by your fate (even this is your own creation) but reaction is left to you. So you are given a choice by "life". We easily manage to skip this choice and blame the fate and this is the trap you have to be aware.
So missing the train was your fate due to the past, reacting to the situation is your present and thus present is holding the key to your future.

Now, there is another way to look at the same thing. Context is different but the message is same.
This is coming from my personal experience of my work life. I have always got good colleagues at work and my work life has always been positive (ofcourse I have these "Sulemanees" which make me do the hops ;)) I am sure many of us have experienced the same as against many of those who are always dissatisfied with thier worklife or more problematic work life. Now why is that difference in circumstances? It is because of a very subtle world within ourselves. I pray to god for the best possible work and promise a superior outcome to him and the result is -
-I get collegues who make my work easy and sometimes "free"
-Sometimes, I do not have to work and result are the blog entries. he..he.
-The outcome of every project is nothing but positive and the best the man can get (I am not advertising gillete, just myself :))
-Everyone working feels satisfied, able and confident to deliver.

Coming back to my first point that you have ability to change the default. To be able to do this you have free yourself from the emotional bondages and then only it is possible.

I am completely aware while I write this that fate can sometimes be acute, unexplained and unexpected depending on your past and evolution. But the essence of this post is that you have the ability to change it, clean it or at least accept it so that pain is reduced.

I will end with a quote I like very much -
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about dancing in the rains"

nice blog.
I will share my experience.
I met with an incident last dec'07 wherein I was laid off from my job only within 3 months of joining, without any notice. I jumped from previous job due to better pay package & exposure, but fate had something else dished out for me. I was shatterd & dejected but overcome this situation within few days & started my journey for looking for another job. I met with another incidents as follows:
1) I got first offer in first week of Jan'09, but the salary offerd was 50% of my last salary; so I decided to not to take the offer.
2) Immediately in the mid of jan-09; I got another offer with the same salary as my last so gleefully accepted & decided to join on 2nd Feb'09; but when i reported on the day; i was told that they had appointed someone else, this is another incident within a month of laid off; I cried on that day, doubting myself.
I stood up again in search for other job.
3)this time the waiting period was long; It came in the month of April'09. I went for an interview in Ipca Labs as refered by one of customer; I cleared all the rounds, but they told me that you have to join us as an executive; I told them u keep my post same but offer me less salary. Outcome was nothing.

I have met with many incidents after that wherein i was questioned & nothing fruitful happened which could land me in a job.

Still the process is on............

Essence of this experience is:

My soul had to go through this experience due to past karmas & this had affected my present situtation wherein I have become strong but there is still doubts in my mind about my future.

This period has helped me to realize myself & had given me an opportunity to look within for happiness.

Fate is all but a result of your past karmas ( may be in this lifetime or someother life)but you have inherent ability to create a future depending on how you evolve in the process of emotions.

I think our world is nothing but a illusion. God has created this universe & we as as soul has lost in these beautiful creation i.e our planet earth.

We are here to find equality in diversity.

I hope I have not bored you guys.

Thanks

Not at all Nirav. It is an illusion and most of us stay in that illusion. There is a subtler world of energy which can change things for you but very few people know it and use it to have a better life.
