Following are some extracts from This great epic
"What happened was for Good,
What is happening is also for Good, (What does not happen is also for Good)
What will happen is also for Good
What have you lost that you Cry
What did you bring in this world that you have lost
What did you create- that has been destroyed
Whatever- you took was here and is given back to this world
What belongs to you today
Belonged to someone else yesterday
And will be someone else's Tomorrow"
CHANGE
(parivartan) is the essence of LIFE (niyam)- Nothing is permanent
As long as you believe that you are the do-er, you
will also bear the results of consequences. When you realise the supertruth that
HE is doer (you are only an instrument). If you can learn- "every thought
and action that you have or do belongs to HIM" you will be set free from
shackles of this cycle. This is the essence of Karma yoga.
In addition Krishna said have Prasad Buddhi, That
is Karma yoga.
Result in also as per the laws of nature and not as
per our expectations. Capacity to accept the result of your actions as the grace of God is
the secret of success and key to avoid stress in life. Do not have the attachment to the
results -maintain the attitude to work with sincerely and accept the result as in
accordance with the wish of God.
You sow a seed of Neem tree and years later, you forget and you expect mangos from this tree. Natures laws never go wrong, you
reap only what you sow.
Here is a very beautiful poem by MOTHER TERESA:
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, at it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've anyway.
You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
