Fate - how it works!
When the path of two or more souls crosses at a point,
they meet. For example, assume you are going from Hyderabad to Delhi (Cities
in India) and the plane has stop over at Madras, Nagpur, Agra and Delhi. Some
would get down at Madras and they were your co-passengers only till Madras. But
few of them may take connecting flight from Madras to New York, ten to Saudi,
and thirty to Singapore. Likewise, say 25 from Madras may board to Agra and
fifteen to Nagpur and again seventeen to Delhi. The same thing happens at every
airport.
Like-wise souls on their personal agenda with different starting points and destinations and with different reasons for travel meet and travel a certain
period and place together because their paths cross and their journey
is towards a common destination for a certain time. (I hope it’s clear.
If it is confusing, please ask a question clearly explaining your doubt and
I’ll try to explain to the best of my abilities).
In the same way, all souls on their personal journey
cross each other’s path and travel together for a certain period of time – may
be with a common cause like finding Site (by monkeys) and fighting for her etc.
It’s very complex and not totally programmed. It depends on so many factors.
Hence, Krishna says in Gita “every karma reaps its fruits, but which karma
comes to the forefront and when, even I can’t tell Arjuna”. So, you can see how
complicated this maze is. It is not linear. It is like multi-dimensional. For
any single event to happen it’s not like in films – it’s not linear.
The nearest example of the workings of the Universe I can
give is “the game of solitaire or chess” as played on a computer. The moment we
play, the next move is made by the computer. The move of computer is decided
for that move. But if I play differently then the move of computer is also
different. Again even that is decided for that move of mine. All the games and
all the moves and counter-moves are already on that computer. But depending on
the game and my move, the game continues and ends.
All the games and moves being already fed in the
Universe are ‘Destiny’ but which game I choose and how I play is my ‘free will’.
I know it’s too complicated and so confusing. But, this is the best I can
explain. If I’ve failed to explain, please revert to me. I’ll try again. Because
unless you understand this, you can’t understand the question “so killing
Ravana was the main agenda and others meeting is add-on…..?’ if you understand
these two examples, that of film and game on computer then I need not give any
answer to that question. Not only that you’ll understand how much goes into
the working of this Universe and to fit in our desire and its fulfillment, how
many moves have to be made before that wish is fulfilled. Once you understand
the behind-the-scenes hard work, you’ll develop patience to wait for your desire
to come true and gratitude will overflow through every pore of yourself – it need
not be forced verbally. Then you wouldn’t ask “Should I again say ‘lines of
gratitude’ before this intention?’. Once you understand this you’ll end up
saying
“Tere rahamon karam ke kya kahane,
Haath uthnese pehle hi jholi bhar detha hai tu…”
How can I measure your grace?
You fill my cup to the brim even before me asking you for it….
