On fate, destiny,
attitudes and choices! – Me, my Guru
“Guruji, I am told by many and I have read that we meet the people in our lives as per “destiny”. If it is so, doesn’t it mean that I am to be with that person for the rest of my life too? Is that not destined? Why did I meet him if I was not to be with him?” asked Priya.
Our Guruji just smiled at
her. And before she could answer, I asked her the long pending question of mind
“but if it is true, then how come people in my life have moved on? If destiny
has brought them to me, then shouldn’t they be part of my life even now?”
She smiled and waited for
her tea to come. We too waited. She drank her tea, enjoying it as if that was
the last cup of her life??!!
I expected her to come up
with at least 3 stories to answer our 3 questions today! I wanted to see which
of her stories she would repeat. Or would she come up with a new one? I was
waiting anxiously. Sometimes, I feel, I am more interested in her stories than
in receiving answers to my queries or questions. Maybe, that was one of the
reasons I never could go beyond collecting stories. Applying them seemed like a “future
project” to me. I laughed at my own thoughts. I knew where the problem was and
also its solutions. At least in these cases. And yet, I chose not to work on
them. And therefore, I could conveniently quote her “You are where you are because
of your choices”.
