Abort and Reset

All that happens is for good. So easy a single line, no difficult words not at all difficult to understand, but very very difficult to practice.
I have come across many such beautiful sayings, lines that instantly connect to your heart but a little thinking in solitude and a small practical lesson is enough to convince you that it is not as easy to practice as to listen and remember. Even as children we had been told about that invisible power called God, is who runs the world.
He directs the drama on earth called ‘life’ and decides and controls all events and all destinies. “Even a leaf does not move without God’s will”, were the words of the elders.
But what are we seeing in the world around us today- A newborn baby abandoned in the garbage, a brother murdering a brother for property, a mother poisoning her child because he has become a block in her extra marital affairs.
Do these things happen with God’s consent? And what different situations does God place different people into!
A beautiful bungalow decorated with colorful lights, well dressed people and women loaded with jewels moving around laughing gaily, the house is well decorated to celebrate the arrival of a new individual full of soft toys and gifts, the occasion?
The birth of a baby 14 years after marriage and just across the road under the dim roadside light is seen a young mother with two small semi naked frail figures clinging to her, fighting the cold protecting her children with her tattered saree.
Why has God placed one child in the hands of a mother who can neither feed and clothe herself nor her child, and the other in the hands of the mother who can run a river of worldly wealth. Does this happen with God’s consent? Purvakarma we are told and the mind is drawn into the intricacies of the theory of karma, birth death cycle and so on.
But this is just not done, why should someone be wronged and someone be favored?
Even around us we find in good numbers people who are watching all our actions and just waiting all for a chance to throw barbs of piercing words at us. They will not miss any chance of hurting you and criticizing you.
Anything and anything at all will be enough for their loud mouths to open and spill dirt. Are these people any different from the mother who throws her newborn baby in the garbage or the mother who poisons her child because he is in the path of her happiness? I put these people in the same category.
The creation of God has reached the height of their self centered goals. And what about the victims of their barbs of words and actions? They cannot retaliate because of fear, but cannot forget it and break the chain of mental reaction, that pain and hurt is downloaded onto another person, so one more victim. So where does this cycle end? It begins with fear and that fear should be removed. Fearlessness will give us clarity of words and actions.
Fearlessness will enable us to give a tit for a tat, so there will be no mental reactions and the chapter is over.
But practically this is not possible, simpler said than done. Fearlessness? Can you imagine saying, “I don’t want to do that work which my boss wants me to do, I don’t care if I lose my job”. NO NO NO the job is important, I depend upon it for my bread and butter, so that puts an end to the concept of fearlessness. I fear losing my job, my loved ones, my power, beauty etc and so I have to do some things I don’t like. But the real solution is empowerment of mind and soul. The mind should be powerful enough to quick break off from painful thoughts. They should be thrown out at once. Why should words spoken by someone be given so much importance? Stop deciding what you are according to what people say about you. You know yourself and that is sufficient. How can anybody steal the peace that is inside you?
You only have to believe in yourself and believe in God, the supreme power, creator, director and destroyer!
