Ignorance is Bliss

Butterflies have a very short life span.Just a few days to 11 months.But it is ignorant of this fact.That is why it flutters its wings and flies with gay abandon.If it was to know that it would die shortly then the strength to fly would just go.It will brood and just think about its short existence.Suppose if the pupa was to know that when it becomes a butterfly it will only live a short life, then perhaps it would loose its will to grow and come out of the cocoon.If it was supposed to be that the world would not have had the pleasure to see various colorful butterflies.The very existence of the cute little beings would come to an end.GOD has given life to all but at the same time it has taken away the powers to look at the future.He has just given that much where we can see our present and think & plan about the future without knowing what will happen,We may plan things but whether our plan is going to succeed or not depends entirely upon his strictures.Here we should not confuse with the plan which we make within our own circle on this earth.The plan which we are talking about here is where your life will take you in future.Just think about your childhood.You never thought about how the money is going to come for your needs.You just played,enjoyed with your friends and did various things with gay abandon.Your parents made that arrangements.As you grew up to be a young man then you started thinking about the woman you will marry, where you will work and what you will do,That was thinking about your future.But as time passed by, most of things you had planned for yourself did not go exactly as you had thought.There came a change in every phase of your life.You thought about becoming a businessman but ended up working for someone at a job which you never thought you would be doing.But GOD had willed this in your destiny so you ended up doing what you are doing presently.Suppose if you had the power to see this in your early years just think about what would have had happened.Maybe, you would have gone into a deep depression,fallen sick and died.But it was not to be so.GOD keeps each ones destiny in HIS own hands.The power to see through the future of each one of us rests with HIM and him only.Just imagine if all of us today were to have the power of looking at our own future we would only increase our own misery.There would complete chaos everywhere.The bond, the love, the affection which we presently carry in our hearts for people whom we know would just go away.I am not going to elaborate on this but leave it to each one of you to just imagine the wildest things which would have had happened if you had a third eye.

That is why it is said that ignorance is bliss.Do not plan too much, just continue your journey on this earth and work with complete dedication,honesty, integrity and faith in whatever you are doing and leave everything to him.This way happiness will float with you and you will float with the knowledge that HE is watching you and making arrangements for you like a father will do for his children.
