Our life. Never think it’s our choice.
This world is full of people. Men, women, girls. Boys, transgender so on and so forth. Every day many babies are born and many die. This is a natural process and nobody can stop it. From the moment we are born, we think that there are plenty of choices around us and we can choose anything we want. But we never think that our birth itself is not our choice. We never choose our father or our mother.Then we will grow based on the financial position of the family. When we are in the process of growing up, we may have many desires and we may try to choose many things in this world. But all may not come as per our wish. Some we may get and some we may not get. We have to be satisfied with what we get.
We will complete our education and go for a job. We think of a job and we want to choose a job. But where is the chance? There is no choice. Whatever comes our way, we have to accept. Even after completing PhD, we may not get the desired post. We have to manage with the job whatever we get. We have to manage within the resources available. Even we have no choice in selecting our life partner. We may propose to marry somebody but it may not happen and we may marry somebody else. Yes. This is the reality and we have to accept the reality and pull on.
It is natural, that we will become parents after marriage. Here also we have no choice. We want a baby girl but we may become the parent of a baby boy. Some of us will worship God, and make different trials to get a child as per our choice but it may not happen. We think we are in the era of technological developments and we can manage any situation using this developed technology. But ultimately what has to happen will only happen and it may not be what you choose and it may be something different.
We never know about our life span also and when it will be over. I have seen a practical example. My father-in-law was very healthy. He used to work very hard. One day morning he went to a cow shed to milk a cow. He milked the cow and he kept the vessel with milk on the side and fell and died. All this happened in no time and if I say this also nobody will believe the same. So, nobody knows when is he going to have his/ her last breath.
Fortunately, God has given us brains and helped us to understand different situations. We can think of various choices that are available and choose the best possible. Fortunate people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths and some unfortunate people may have sorrows in every step of their life. It all depends on our destiny. So never think that we have many choices around and we can choose anything we want. Please remember that everything is as per our destiny and things will happen as destined.
This is a fact that we have no choice and things will take their shape. That is why Lord Krishna told Arjuna not to think of the choices available and go to kill Kauravas without any other thinking. I hope all the members will agree with this.
