Sometimes we ask..Why did this happen to me? When we make a heartfelt prayer, sometimes, surprisingly unpredictable events follow : Consequences of our prayer, events that are wish-enablers. They may not be pleasant and packaged as miracles. They may be unpleasant, painful and packaged as difficulties. But they enable the inner, powerful heartfelt wishes that we have. Some unpleasant events are like the knocks of a sculptor’s chisel designed to make us more beautiful people. Especially those that break our false pride and leave us with a sense of true worth and self-respect.
We form our destinies based on our nature and values. Siddhartha Gauthama may have let go of all his riches in one stroke to find the truth, others may lose their inherited situation more gradually. They may give up respectability to lead a life of dissipation. Dhirubhai Ambani gave up’ his life of inherited poverty and ended up one of the richest industrialists in the country. His values and nature were about wealth creation.
It is not sufficient for a soul to select a birth advantageous to its goal.. if its samskaras and impulses drive it to some other goal.
Where were your born? Where are you now? Can you perceive the choices you made and the actions you took that brought you here? Do you know others who have chosen differently in similar situations? What is the one thing that you would never sacrifice? What is the one thing for which you would sacrifice all other “good things”? That explains the course of your life, that explains why things happen to you that do not happen to other people.
What is the one cause that drives and defines your existence? The reason why do something, stick with something or abstain from doing something? What is it that you love? That is what makes things happen for you.
