There will be times in Life when
you don’t know what’s going on and simply don’t know how to deal with it. You
wonder if there’s a cosmic conspiracy against you! Nothing can be more untrue.
Know that Life has no fixed agenda or menu. You get served what Life has laid
out for you. And, interestingly, you have no way of knowing upfront what lies
in store for you!
But you__and I__view what we deserve from Life very differently. You always believe that because you are good at heart, ethical, sincere and work hard, you deserve to be treated better by Life. Life, however, has no such ideals. It just keeps on serving what what’s programmed in your design, in your Master Plan. And from Life’s point of view, that Master Plan has no flaws!
All your grief in Life, from Life, comes only when you question what’s being served to you. Don’t question Life’s design and you will be at peace, perpetually. There’s great value and beauty in not being able to decipher Life or understand its design. Osho, the “spiritually incorrect mystic”, as someone called him famously, says: “The beauty of facing Life unprepared is tremendous. Then Life has a newness, a youth; then Life has a flow and freshness. Then Life has so many surprises. And when Life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you.”
Whatever happens in Life,
whatever, it only makes you stronger and better. While you may not accept this
at face value__and you shouldn’t because there’s a great learning in questioning
and discovering how Life works through your own journey, your personal
experience__an intelligent way to respond to Life’s vicissitudes is to serve
before you say you deserve.
Serving selflessly in Life may
not make any change to the way Life deals with you. But it will definitely make
you feel better. The problem with expecting to be treated better by Life and
demanding that you deserve better is that Life is not going to give you an
answer or explain your design to you. When you keep asking questions and you
get no answers, indeed, you will be frustrated. Your frustration will
eventually lead you to depression and you end up becoming bitter in Life.
Instead, immerse yourself in serving others despite your circumstances. It may
not resolve your personal situation but will greatly enhance your inner peace.
Stop asking why Life is happening
to you the way it is. Instead, make your Life meaningful and purposeful. Accept
what comes your way and find ways to serve, make a difference and leave the
world a better place than you found it!
