Destiny

Why are we born on this planet earth ?? Who are we?? Where have we come from.?? Is it just a biological event which has been brought about through some explosion in the universe?? or is it something more complex.Who created all this wonderful existence of so many living beings.Not to forget the entire Universe where earth is only a small part .Hundred of unanswered questions still haunt us many times and we have not been able to find out the answers as yet.Not only living on this earth but death as well.Each one possessing life dies at some point in time.Young people,new borns,not so young everyone including others like animals and plants.Each one has a life span which is unknown.Many a times youngsters pass away sooner than the old. Why is it so.??After death where do we go..??Is there a written rule somewhere on the fate of each one of us.And by US I do not only identify humans but each living organism on earth.Maybe YES there is.Lets put a name to that written rule as Destiny and the unknown and mysterious as GOD or the creator.

Where you are going to be born,which family,place,time had been already written as also death.How you are going to be fed,brought up,engage and live,this also had been set for you.Who you are going to nurture,grow and flourish has also been dictated.Who all are going to come in your life and at which point in time those connections have already been linked up.It is just a matter of time sooner or later but is unknown to you right now.Just look back at the last 10 years of your life.Jot down everything which comes to you through the memory lane.You will be surprised at the sequence of events which fell in place when you never even imagined them during those early years.You lost touch with someone and the same person came back in your life again.You lost some money and it was returned to you when you had no hopes of recovering it.These are larger events which can be measured by you.What about food grains.Each grain itself is destined to be fed to someone whether an animal or a human.Many a times you have sat at your dinner table with the food completely laid out and you get a call leaving in a hurry without having your meal.Although, the meal was laid out for you but someone else was destined to eat it.Very complex but at the same time very simple to understand if you believe in destiny.

Some flowers are offered to the deity and some are offered to the dead.Some just wither away when the season ends.Even each flower has been put on the destiny line.Just notice a devotee at the temple plucking up flowers from the tree.It is a random action or is it so?? Think!!. Some get plucked and offered to the deity whereas some near the same spot just do not and they simply wither away.Similarly fruits.Some of them are offered to the deity are then cut into Prasada and offered to the devotess.Others are just eaten by us normally or animals or they simple rot away.What is the difference.First lot of flowers and fruits had an immensely satisfying and fulfilling purpose of life and it was achieved.The second lot just only existed.But then this was destined to be so for no fault of theirs.It was just a matter to getting plucked or picked.

What is destiny.A small explanation. It is a life path which has been drawn by the Creator offering us various opportunities,enlightment,means,connections ,energy and departure at different time periods.But all these are unknown to us.We can experience them only when we pass through that particular time segment.And each segment has a life span of its own.Nothing is permanent.What is yours today, will be someone else's tomorrow.This is the catch which most of us do not remember and forget .In other words actually destiny may be defined as a measure of GOD to evaluate us on our functioning on this planet.It is a reward system put in place depending upon one`s actions.Have you ever noticed that the fate lines which you are born with keep changing.These are images which you are carrying with you.The main frame computer is somewhere else .The corrections are made there and the reflections are seen here.

As the last parting words.One has to believe in GOD first and then believe in destiny.But then GOD says believe in your own soul first before you start believing in ME.
