Why The Hell I Am What I Am

The year 1976. I was 14 years old and, apart from focusing on studies, I was incredibly involved in stage performance with a local Theater group. Frankly speaking, at that time, my dream was to become an actor.

      My mother was a Tiger Lady and she left no stone unturned to ensure that all her children studied hard and excelled in academics.

      After 12th Board Examination I got an interview invitation for admission in Regional Engineering College, Nagpur (Now known as NIT, Nagpur). I did good in science subjects called PCM at that time (Phy, Chem and Math), and was shortlisted.

Why Mukul Surrendered To The Laws Of Nature

 

We humans often think that we are in control of our own destinies. We believe that we can shape our lives however we please, make our own decisions, and control our own fates.

However, there is a force much stronger than us, a force that has been around long before we were born and will continue to exist long after we are gone. This force is the Laws of Nature.

The Laws of Nature is the natural order of the world, the rules that govern the universe and everything in it. It is the force that governs the developments in the life of every species, keeps the planets in orbit, the tides ebbing and flowing, and the seasons changing. It is a powerful and unyielding force, one that cannot be ignored or defied.

How Kushal Fought Against The Torture By Fate

Kushal, a young man in early thirties, used to live in a small village in West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. He was known for his kindness, compassion, and unwavering determination to fight against the torture of fate.

Kushal had been through many hardships in his life. From losing his parents at a young age to facing poverty and adversity, he had seen more than his fair share of struggles. But through it all, he never lost hope or gave up on his dreams.

One day, as Kushal was walking through the village, he came across a group of villagers gathered around a street performer. The performer was a storyteller who captivated the listeners with tales of bravery, wisdom, and magic.

Spirituality And Destiny

When Destiny ignores you, have patience. Understand that she is testing your endurance limit. When she opens up her treasure, sky is the limit.

The latest example is Sunny Deol and the earth-shattering success of his film Gadar2. 

Where was Sunny and what was he doing for last 20 years? Nothing! Where is he now and doing what? Everything! 

Destiny gave him Gadar2 and he put in his best efforts. 

Look at the outcome.

That's how life works. Wait for the right situation and opportunity. When that comes, go all out like a mad and possessed personality to prove that you can no longer be ignored.

That's how Destiny works. And I believe that practicing spiritualily plays a decisive role in changing our Destiny. 

When Destiny offers you a great opportunity, leave no stone un-turned to turn the same into stupendous success.

There is only one life lesson from the cyclonic success of Gadar2, and it is: Wait for your turn. Be patient. Practice meditation. Waiting period might be in years.

However, Destiny is not ruthless and does recognize the efforts, even if late. Wait for the right moment and bite the opportunity Iike a King Cobra.

Never forget the following epic dialouge ever, from the Film Rocky, recepient of several Oscars, written and performed by Sylvester Stallone himself:

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

That's what Sunny Deol did. He has won. He has proved, how winning is done. Hats off to him! His Destiny helped him. He worked hard. I am sure, he is a spiritual practitioner also. Finally, he made it. 

However, we all know and understand as well, even if refuse to admit: End of the day, it's all about our Destiny. Because, working hard produces results only when Destiny is in favor.

I have started believing that raising our awareness level through spritual practice does help us change our future for living a happy and peaceful life.

Change Your Destiny With Spiritual Practice

This post and none of my earlier posts on the role of Destiny and Karma, governing our life developments, are depicting a pessimistic observation of life.

What I write is my point of view. I believe and said so many times, that Destiny is unavoidable but condition applies: That's Spirituality, which helps us make the right choice in a neutral state of mind.

The neutral state means, when the mind is devoid of internal and external conflicts and is stable with the ability to take right decision and make appropriate choice in accordance with the demand of the prevailing situation.

When I choose candidate for Leadership positions in Corporate India, I deeply analyse the same for obvious reasons.

Spirituality and Leadership are two sides of the coin called Success in both Professional and Personal life.

Success is not about getting highly charged in the morning like your mobile phone through night-long input.

Success is all about being performing through-out the day, without being charged on daily basis in the night and in the morning, for achieving your intended goal of life.

Success is not about external motivation, but about internal transformation.

And that never happens without being spiritually strengthened!

Message for the young generation below 45 years of age:

I had attended the Satsang at Kriya Yoga center of Paramhansa Sri Yogananda today morning.

Amazing experience!

Joining the 1st level of Kriya meditation very soon to explore my internal world and continue to the last level for attaining self-purification and eternal peace and happiness.

My elder daughter is doing level 2 now and she is feeling great.

It all begun for both me and my daughter, when we started reading the book "The Autobiography of A Yogi" few months ago.

That's how the calling comes, as I realize it now, with astonishing surprize, when God wants us to surrender unconditionally to the mighty power of the Law of Nature and inspires us keep working hard without any expectations from our efforts.

I have never believed in religious rituals, and those satanic and schizophrenic exhibitions of human madness. Don't now even; however, I have begun to believe in the power of meditation for changing our internal world for bettering the external manifestation of self.

That's where and how spirituality steps into our lives, the life we never control and neither have any influence over, unless the power of Spirituality helps us change the Will of Destiny.

We can change our Destiny through Spiritual interventions. That's how Nature works, and life as well.

When a learned scholar of Veda and Vedanta visited Paramhansa Ramakrishna - Guru of Swami Vivekananda - and explained him the meaning of ancient scriptures, RK replied - I am sorry, I havent read any of these. I'm the son of my mother 'Kali' and have surrendered to her.

That's the 'Power of Surrender' to the creator of this Universe for living a meaningful life.

Respect The Law Of Nature

Mistakes happen. Wrong decisions too. Look at your own life: Too many mistakes and lot many wrong decisions.

Did you stop functioning there after. Did you stop living since then? Did you let your life be in the hands of devastating consequences.

How can you do that when you know that your actions govern your destiny to some extent atleast. Look, destiny is pre-determined; however, one can change it to an extent that benefits them.

Since, most of the people are living a monotonous life who have no interest in reading and writing, let me conclude with a statement: Live your life and die your death, with no regrets.

Mark my words: People, who know the art of manipulations are the ones makes others fool, and are the same ones who are being successful in the short run.

Destiny plays a big role no doubt, otherwise, everyone would have bought a  space like Mannat.

Respect destiny. She makes what you are now.

Neither Modi became what he is today, nor Shahrukh Khan. They are what they are today because destiny wanted them to be.

You have no control over what you want to be. Destiny decides it. Respect her and let her do her job.

 

We are just the watchers of what destiny makes us. Keep watching!

I had never believed in the power of destiny for a decade and half, when I was riding the waves of tremendous success. However, gradually, over a period of time, I did understand that we have no control over the 'Forces of Nature' governing our life developments.

I have already mentioned in some of my previous posts that Destiny does give us the opportunity sometime, and we must make the best use of it with our hardwork and dedication; however, as Lord Krishna had indirectly said many thousand years ago -- that, the outcome of the efforts is beyond our control.

If you read read the ancient Stoic philosophy where Seneka, Epictetus and the great Stoic and one of most accomplished Roman Emperor Murcus Aurelius too have explained very clearly that most of our life developments are beyond our control.

Does it mean, we must surrender to those "Laws of Nature?" Yes, we must, but, at the same time, leave no stone unturned to influence those forces in our favour. I don't have any idea about the success rate. But, trying is better than doing nothing.
