Your way matters....

We all are born probably equal and we all are destined to reach the same destination.... That's what divine power has already designed. Most of the things are already  pre -designed  but God has certainly given mankind an iota of His power to work, to conduct ourselves. He has laid down the path before us and given us the feet,the intelligence, the courage and conviction to choose the one road most appropriate.... However small the task look like,how narrow the path look ahead ,our time and ability, our character and integrity is judged by Him on that...That's what today I understand and firmly believe... Giving one example... People often say "I/we did this,I achieved that,I am so rich/successful and famous " or for that matter whenever any good thing happens as per our senses go we invariably try and take the credit...Is it really so !!! I doubt. If we analyse little further we will realise how foolish we are thinking that we are the control centre. What can we control ??? We are only given the minutest to minutest level of control to only act and only act for the moment. If we look back or forth not one more extra moment is in our hand and the beauty of His design is that that moment is universal and all pervasive. Same for poor,rich,Indian,American, black,white,Hindu,Christian, Burmese, Japanese ....anyone you think... Except controlling and training our mind and some of external organs of body we really have no control even on our so called body on which we feel ,we have so much possession and we really feel so so proud about that...If it would have been that then you or me will be controlling our breathing, our heart,our digestive system and the countless cells tirelessly working silently inside !!! That's enough evidence how tiny is our role even in our own life leave aside others... But that tiny role ,that very gifted moment,that very very small step matters,immensely matters and that act of our consciousness really contributes not only for our present, but builds our future and not surprisingly shapes the past even....

                              As I discussed, this very moment is the treasure of immense value which has the power to build or break the world...if we go to history, mythology, philosophy or human psychology  and analyse we will clearly see that moment,a single thought ,one gesture and one word have made the difference... Whether it is Shrikrishna's 'yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharate...' or Duryodhan's  rhetoric 'without war will not give a land measured by the tip of a needle'...all have come from that moment...So that moment matters and how we think and act that really matters. We are here to be our own judge and walk our path.No one can ever do that for us.God has already laid the path and people are there to show us light but we and only we need to walk...and that decides our fate,decisively designs our lives and so called destiny. And the choice of how well or ill I use the moment is mine and completely mine. Whether I choose to ignore or spoil or make someone else's day,something, some place by my thoughts and actions it is completely my choice and that really builds not only individual but also family, society and a country's character in the least...We are here for a limited time and our lives are certainly and thoughtfully designed by God to be restricted within a - (dash) between two finite moments.To make that destined time immortal is what will really matter and we are really really blessed to fill the gap by ourselves...I think it is wise and prudent....healthy and peaceful to fill that gap with smiles than with despair, with blessings than with blames,with positive power than with negative excuses...and certainly it will make a difference in someone's life ,someday somewhere... And may be it will make our own life divine and immortal and the least it will be a life worth living....Let's choose a life that matters ...each moment that counts in the ocean of Time .....
