Human Destiny: Myth or Reality ?
Destiny in
other words is amenable to thought and right actions. It should not be
construed as a curse fallen on mankind
The Hindu version of interpreting Destiny is directly correlated to an
individual’s –Karma. (The good and bad things the person would have committed
in his previous birth.) Even by scientific equivalence and thinking, an intelligent
person need to concede its plain truth, and accept that personal attitude,
approach towards life and values, one adopts during the course of a lifetime,
decides ones destiny. The cumulative factors, precedent to actions, collective
offerings compliments the agony and ecstasies of life.
The word Destiny may sound like a fertile imaginative thought, but by a
closer study we can see a pattern, precedence, and a pathway. For a while stop
in your tracks, and look at it- the monotonous realities of life as it unfolds
itself signify - time, suffering, pain succession. This of course, lingers for
a while and the pattern changes for good or worse. No human circumstance lasts
forever. To defy and build resistance will only aggravate misery. Instead one
has to live through the painful experience and come out of it.
Human Brain is an accepted, seat of intelligence. The ability to
comprehend the most sensitive nature and subtle fineries of life and to
perceive its implications by its roots apparently, - is its merited strength.
But at times of frailty, some people choose what is improper. Often times
consciously, decide on cold and wanton cruelty.
Criminals are born not by failure of intelligence, but essentially they
supersede morality and convince themselves of a logic they think is more appropriate.
With misconceived values desecrating their birth.
Conversely, poise men practice astuteness and still, fail to cross
barriers and commit sinful deceit.
Human life must not harsher evil thoughts, insusceptible to good things
of life, selfish motives ruling the very existence of Human life and should not
get stuck in a whirlpool of damnation. To practice virtue one need not be a
saint, the mere awareness of what is right and wrong and thoughtfulness of
identifying oneself with GOD would resolve and do us good.
Actions are to be performed without expectations. Actions performed to achieve
good bear’s ecstatic joy and happiness. The cause and the effect is not
relative to an over riding ambition. The appraisal and the judgment are left
entirely to the supreme force. But for the commoner the message is simple: What
you sow is what you reap.
The Sinner do not have to wait for
his next birth for reprisal, the cause and effect spares no time in giving him
what he deserves but, the mind alone punishes him first with tormenting
consequences and haunting guilt. Human brain is a
chemical laboratory. Human brain is which maintains the biochemistry in
delicate balance. Imagine how a troupe of ballet dancers performing in unison.
Anyone loosing step and dithers would through the entire performance off
balance. Similarly, brain chemistry could also go chaotic.
Human beings are not capable of absolute evil, but they have the
ability to transform themselves to evil actions. They have both the sides of
the nature. They only pick and choose. The superior soul within him is a clever
spectator. He seldom interferes in his external forms and associate in
peripheral actions.
The good over evil always triumphs. Many a time we come across people
doing bad to society spend inconspicuously on charitable causes and feed the
hungry and the down trodden. This is an effort to get over the guilt and make
dirt free the miss deeds committed.
Mind over Matter is nevertheless, superior and dictates the truth. One
can accept unconditional thinking and filter the undesirable. To practice
virtue and pursue virtuous deeds is not a crime. Medicine is not for taste, it
is meant for healing the decease.
One cannot escape Destiny, but in understanding it as it presents
itself and to readjust once life to its own wavelengths would do the trick.
Every moment in life poses its own opportunity for us to relish and
experience life. Everything in the package needs to be felt and smoothened. The
fabric and the texture of which it is woven could be rough, slippery and sticky
but what is important is not how you struggled but how you reconciled and
won.
To admit failure is easy, but to pursue and strengthen the mind to win
is an achievement. The ability to continue in the face of defeat and to better
your circumstance is divine.
In the pursuit of finding once own Destiny, partly one can exercise
control oneself. . Controlling and restraining some avoidable actions and
forbid wrong doings calling upon the better judgment.
Collective logical reasoning and common sense would offset sin.
Stopping in tracks, to become conscious of the superiority of humane nature and
bow down to its sacredness.
Perpetually surrendering to this state of purity one can change
destiny.
Destiny in other words is amenable to thought and right actions. It
should not be construed as a curse fallen on mankind.
The gifts of GOD are very many, natural abundance, the animal kingdom,
life-sustaining elements all is given on a platter. We are the privileged and
blessed creatures. There is nothing to feel insecure and incompetent. We only
need to identify ourselves and feel exceptional to be happy.
Pick up a conversation with a child and be susceptible to the response
and reactions. Use humour and see the mirth and laughter, the innocence personified.
Listen
to the silent sound of the seas, the pulsating waves, the gushing water and
whistling wind all these portends life in its complete purity. We only need to
subtly understand our limitations and practice humility, the moment we are
trapped inside the cocoon and close our mind we are struck up in the quagmire
of confusion failing incompetently to see the light.
Human Destiny however
incomprehensible and feel vague, there are certainties and has concrete ground
realities. A cat cannot give birth to a rat, neither the DNA –nor the genes
allow a freakish birth. Like so, whatever good we do in our lifetime will be a
precedence to experience an extension of happier life.
Life for many good people could be
downright miserable, but it is a test of time, an opportunity to learn from the
experience and to strengthen our mind and body withstanding the unprecedented
circumstances by virtue of fortitude and resilience. Life is not a bed of
roses; it is a mixed bag of the desirables and undesirables. Only right
attitudinal perceptions and healthy convictions need to govern us, not to
buckle down or resign during these phases but to stand up and face in spiritual
strength. After all Destinies is a question of what we sow and what we reap.
Worldly circumstances need not
cause permanent damage in our physic plane, affecting an individual’s
personality. In fact no circumstance is worth committing suicide about.
Challenge of life is to squarely stand up and to face the odds. Without
escaping and even pretending that you are not being affected. The turmoil
within us is only momentary; as the time passes away what you have construed
earlier will prove to be not standing and withers, falling off like dry leaves.
GOD created us with a purpose and if his intentions are meant to make us
realize the true nature of life, we need to have a clearer understanding of the
values and the gifts that he has showered upon us. The abundance of
Nature would be sufficient enough
to make us realize that almighty God have bestowed upon us the best of life’s
resources. However, he dose not believe in orchestrating our entire life. We
need to prove ourselves worthy of his considerations.
Destiny is what we fight against
our own vices and temptations. True realization and sensitive awareness would
surely keep us above board. The true meaning of life and death will show us the
enlightened path. Absolving all our woes and suffering.
If the perception of Destiny is misunderstood, and we resign not paying
heed to the chances of how we can better our lives, thinking that it is totally
a predestined issue - we are essentially wrong. If we human beings are perennially
condemned to suffer and feel dammed, the existence of whatever good has no
meaning. It is not by reprimand alone that one learns the truth. One can
overcome the impediments by devotion and prayer. If a conscious mind with clear
intentions evaluate between the righteous acts and the evil actions, it can
overcome what is sanity and insanity. This effort will show a way out of a
destiny that is predestined.
‘No body is born under a bad star, there are people who will misread
the skies’ so said Dalai Lama. The ability to perceive the true meaning of life
lies in understanding oneself,
introspection of our own being, and in restraining unconscionable acts
that we commit, superseding nature and morals. Therefore Destiny is open to the
beholder, to modify or to choose what one aspires to be.
Any honest application and focused intelligence leads to tangible
achievements. It is the passion and commitment to purpose that uplifts mankind.
Great corporate enterprises are born by persuasion and commitment. Penicillin -
the life saving antibiotic, was found out by Alexander Fleming.
The mind over matter is superior and should take over the life tides,
guiding and inspiring us at every step. We must uphold values of higher planes
to overcome deficiencies and inadequacies. We need to constantly upgrade and
resurrect humane thoughts and better our birth, may be to transcend and live
again in a superior world free from the cycle of birth and death, for which we
need to qualify and be prepared. There is nothing like being fully loved and
accepted by people for the good attributes you lived for and setting the
precedence of peaceful existence.
