bound to happen

Article Summary by: adavait    

Original Author: adavait
What happens is bound to happen.
At one point of time in life. sometimes, we experience indecision.
In this
state of mind, a person looses the clairvoyance and is not able to decide things.
During one such phase in my life I had the fortune to meet a great spiritual master, and I inquired of him Sir- - I told him that how can one take the best decision in life at a given point of life. How will one know that whatever decision taken is for the Best? He seemed to be amused.
The answer was equally amazing. It was something like this he asked: who was anybody to take decision, perform actions, and get results. He further explained that all action happen as they are bound to happen in a given circumstances. We are neither the creator nor the destroyer and hence we should not feel guilty nor pride ourselves for a happening of a certain event in our life .We should just perform actions to the best of our ability. The rest is we own nothing nor do we owe anything.  At that, point of time there was not much clarity  and had not understood the meaning and context of his entire explanation. Today when one ponders over those sentences and apply the meaning in different situation one thinks, those words were prophetic.
If this was not true, how could India a subcontinent get freedom from the British Rule? Of course, there were great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and others, who fought for our freedom but then,
if this was not true, how so many incidences could have taken place in our lives and in the lives of other people wherein one wonders oh! Why me?
HUMAN BEING HAS THE TENDENCY TO TAKE CREDIT FOR GOOD HAPPENINGS AND BLAME THE ALMIGHTY FOR THE BAD ONES.
BUT IF WE APPLY THE SAME RULE FOR BOTH THE HAPPENINGS IN OUR LIFE THE CONFUSION WILL BE REDUCED.
