Fate or Free will

 

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Fate or Free will

There are in our country any numbers of fatalists who maintain that the unseen hand of Fate controls everything and no effort on our part will make the difference. There are also those who believe in the supremacy of man’s free will and say that everything  is possible with self effort.

Some are of the view that man is the victim of circumstances. Others argue that man has the power is change circumstances with the power of his personality . it is said that self-effort and fate are like the two wheels of chariot the two blades of a par of scissors . but “the scribbling on the forehead”, “the effort of the stars”, the fruit of action” are words which we use to explain our failure in any action . Whatever there is no denying the fact that we ourselves have to strive to uplift our life. We have to change forward with courage and daring . we have to struggle with trust in our own effort. There is saying “Six steps are human effort the seventh is divine grace ! Has anybody come up in life without the sprit of enthusiasm to work. Without relentless effort!

Can you ever drive anything to the goal of success simply by waiting for the favour of Destiny or Fortune, and not doing anything? No task is possible in that manner . Such an attitude makes a coward of man. it makes him morally a slave to evil. People commit errors because of their own weakness. but they attribute the errors to unfavorable fate, to ill-luck to the influences of planets and stars! One such person slipped because of his carelessness but blamed the slippery ground, and found fault with his fate.

If thee were really something like fate which placed obstructions on our way ot success . we could certainly overcome them by our own sincere struggle; by arousing the inner spirit which is latent in all of us.

If fate were so powerful , we would not be speaking at all about virtues, vices, or the power of the soul. Human beings are not like logs of wood or bricks of clay.

No man can ever lift himself up from the mire of misery if he clings to the attitude. “Fate is responsible for this kind of act on my part. I am not responsible for my actions. I am only being helplessly pushed by the unseen hand of Fate” It is man’s ignorance, which makes him feel that he is weak, and that his is ever dependent on the invisible hand of fate. This ignorance will lead him only to his degradation. To utilize the present is to conquer the fate.

Find inner strength

by Sant Rajinder Singh

 

We are all interconnected. As members of one large family, when one of us suffers, we all suffer. The global community is experiencing an unprecedented challenge. We are all looking for stability, reassurance and comfort.

 

As our physical, mental and emotional health bears the impact of the global pandemic, let us remember to enhance our spiritual health, and our spiritual capacity, as it will help us get through these challenging times. We can enhance our spiritual capacity through meditation.

 Meditation is the means by which we experience the peace, love and stillness within us. In its truest form, meditation is about connecting with the Source of all love, which is God. It is about experiencing God’s love for ourselves. When we experience this love, we are nourished, uplifted and elevated. This love heals us, and changes our perspective of life, the world around us and, ultimately, it transforms us. When we experience God’s love for ourselves, it becomes easy to experience God’s constant presence in our lives.

While meditation does not eliminate the problems and challenges of life, it helps us cultivate a wider perspective. The spiritual wisdom that we gain as we go within helps us understand the bigger picture of life, which enables us to look at difficulties in a different way and, thus, respond in a calmer, relaxed manner. We learn, through meditation that life’s panorama is constantly in flux. All things in life must come to pass. All challenges in life will subside in time.

  

 

 

 

–But, if He exists?

 

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
