Omens and Indications - 3
Some random thoughts
which can be considered as sequel of my earlier post on 12th Jan about Omens
and Indications .
Whenever
it comes to questions of our current situation in life, we like to either blame
God/Destiny or other people. Either God/Universe/Destiny dodged us or some
other people in our lives dodged us. We were totally innocent people. And may
be those other people are also thinking that they are innocent and we dodged
them.
I mean
what is the purpose it is serving or conclusion we are arriving at?
1. I feel
that both answers are of escapism. Escaping from our own responsibility of our
own actions which lead us to current state of our lives.
2. I am
always big advocate of fate/destiny - https://www.astrosaxena.com/ffwse and "I know" that everything is pre-destined
with free-will functioning only in the limited sphere of ignorance of destiny.
3. But
when I use the concept of destiny then it is not for leaving the blame on
Universe/God but in total acceptance of whatever Universe decides for us. If I
say that it was my destiny to go through so many instability in my career to
reach here then it was also destiny of all those people whom I came in contact
with during the course of those careers and who contributed in those
instability. If I was bound by destiny then even they were bound by the same
destiny. So, I use destiny in totality and not to defend myself or blame
others.
4. Then
when we blame God/Universe for any negative event of our life then why we don't
give credit to same God/Universe for any achievement of our life? Whenever we
go through a rough time, we are quick to blame God that why God is doing this
to me? So 1st of all, we accept that God is Doer and we are just a puppet. Then
when we achieve something then how credit can come to us? How can we say that
"I achieved this or that"? If achievement is our than failure should
also be our and if failure is blamed at God then achievement should also be at
God's credit.
5. But
this is where the problem is? and the name of problem is Ego. Ego likes to take
the Credit and Ego likes to shift the blame.
6. So 1st
thing is that if you are accepting everything as destiny or pre-destined then
accept it wholly/totally/completely. It can't be partial. It can't be like -
"ohh I was destined to go through this suffering but how come this guy
cheated me like this"? Well, if you were destined to suffer then there has
to be someone who is destined to bring that suffering to you.
7. Then
another way is to blame others for your situation in life? Why? Were you not
born with a brain? Were you not advised correctly on time? If others could use
their brains and dodge you then what prevented you to use your brain and
safeguard yourself?
8. I feel
both ways are wrong (partial blame on destiny or on other people) and it is
about shifting the blame on others and defending own ego. How can we accept
that we have created our own mess? But truth is that only. We are the reason
behind our lives, either in good way or bad way? And we can change our life any
moment, either in good way or bad way. If we are happy then it is because of
our actions and awareness. If we are sad then it is because of our own
inactions and ignorance.
9. So, we
have two options -
a. if we
want to accept everything as pre-destined then accept it totally. Accept that
even your biggest enemy is also destined to make you suffer and even he can't
avoid his pre-destined role.
b. But if
we don't want to accept destiny totally then accept that your current situation
is just because of your actions/inactions or knowledge/ignorance. There is no
role of God or Destiny in it.
And when
we accept our mistakes in our life then there is a possibility of improvement.
Blaming others or destiny (partially) has no possibility of improvement or
evolution.
Hope this
makes sense. Post open for comments.
