The topic of destiny to me has been a matter of discussion for quite a long time. If things just happen by a matter of luck, then why do we need to toil hard for something…it’s just a matter of destiny and I’ll get what is written...
I had read a story in my school days by the name ‘The Ant and the Grasshopper’. Ant works hard throughout the springs to enjoy a comfortable winter whereas grasshopper enjoys each and every bit of time loitering around and ends up in difficult situation when winters arise...So, does an Ant enjoys his destiny or is it hard work.
Taking analogy from the story is it destiny or deed which determines our present…how do we draw a thin line between the two, is a question. Also, if everything is predetermined, can we desire to do something beyond our destiny…can we have aspirations and dreams which are beyond what is written!
Offlate a couple of my friends spoke to me about the theory of past karma…As per this theory, clearing past karma by practicing good deed in the present helps us to create a better and a brighter today… I’ve always preferred to live in my present, learn from the past and look to the future. That means I always took the learning from the past, preferred completing it there itself and just move on…move on to me was leaving past where it was and exploring new areas of possibility which were future oriented…it didn’t gave me a brighter today but it never made me regret my past either. And what I always felt was whether by luck, chance or deed that always made me happier. No regrets…no bad thoughts….only bliss…I practiced it at every stage…knowingly, unknowingly by choice or by chance. So if I look back now to my past, clearing my so called past karma thinking that it would really impact my present way of being…well honestly I don’t know how to do that…As always it boils down to generating a lot of questions in my mind which are unanswered.
We always feel lucky if something happens to us naturally with or without turmoil. And if this happening is something which was really awaited…It’s a bonus!!…So how do we create our destiny?
From my experiences so far I believe you get what you truly believe in…it may be pleasure or pain, success or failure, pride or prejudice it’s again a matter of choice. I’ve had the flavor of both the oxymoron at different stages and consequences, again by knowingly or unknowing attracting both of them...so if someone asks me was it deed or destiny I would say deed made the destiny. Taking lessons from the past, joining the dots to the future never comes naturally…atleast not to me…however, it is an interesting phenomena to predict what might be there for you…what you need to do is to read the signs available and take learning’s from there.
Joining the dots of the past experiences, and relating it to my present and future has helped me to create a path for my destiny. I am a strong believer of destiny…However, I feel a very strong contribution of our fate is driven by the path we follow. Our destiny decides our fate; our deed decides the path to the providence. So, if luck just happens by chance, it’s somewhere a reward to the endeavor which has been put at some point of time by no one but me. All is in the present…so live it, feel it and enjoy it coz this will always help you think of a beautiful past and create a brighter future.
