words of wisdom 55 – new year special
May the new year make more and more spiritual wind blow into the window of your life. May you successfully pilot across the uncharted waters which stretch ahead of you ! Life always, like the imponderable immensity of the star-filled sky, fills us with awe and wonder. WHAT WILL BE SHALL BE. There is a general belief that if one reaches the transcendental stage, one can escape the clutches of pre-determinism. It is true also. But when one reaches that stage he 'can' escape but he 'does not' want to do so, as he realizes that whatever is existing is the best available form. A king living in a palace can enter a hut but he does not do so as the palace is better than the hut. That is why Rama and Krishna, though they were spiritually elevated to the transcendental stage, though they could mould the pattern of their lives, never did so. They gladly Bore what they were made to bear. 'The Cosmic-Map Is so perfect' that the transcendental man, inspite of the fact that he is potential enough to redraw and redesign the map, does not do so because he is also potential enough to realize that the existing map can never be improved upon. If a transcendental person tries to rewrite the cosmic story he is 'bound to fail' because he is not a really transcendental man. A real T.M. ( transcendental man) is eternally aware that there are no and can never be better revised or enlarged editions of the Cosmic story. So the T.M. in spite of his ability to go beyond pre-determinism, is a willing victim of its tentacles. In other words, what is predetermined equally applies to all. In still other words, the unalterable sheet of fate- reigns supreme even in transcendental lives like Christ, Rama, Krishna etc. In a word, the accurate and infallible index of a transcendental man is that he will, with all the humility, bows his head before what is cosmically predetermined in spite of his ablility to do. Even if he appears to have gone beyond predetermined pattern, it is only apparent, not real. Even if he appears to have really done so, he is predetermined to go beyond pre-determinism to that extent, paradoxically. ******************** "what has happened has happened for the best what is happening is happening for the best what will happen will happen for the best Do not brood over the past Do not worry about the future The present is on" MAY THE ONE TO WHOM EVERYONE BELONGS AND WHO BELONGS TO EVERYONE BLESS YOU WITH WHAT IS DESIRABLE TO YOU.
