A Realization

Sometimes you’re too excited with something that you assume nothing can go wrong, but actually you need your senses and rationality at all times or the best can go wrong. So when you’re sure that everything is under control and tend to get careless that’s exactly when everything slips out of control, as a result of which, you panic and try to put things right but in your state of panic and shock every attempt you make not just goes in vain but also ruins the matter further – like I already said you need your senses and rationality at all times. Now that you have ruined everything; sit back, relax, take 10 deep breathes “rafiki” style, summon back your serenity, tell yourself that as far as your intentions are pure, the Almighty will get you out of this mess, BUT you have to be SURE that your intentions are pure and are in the best interest of whoever is involved. Once you’re sure of this, give the matter some time, let the storm pass, wait on the shore, because someone told me once that “you can do anything but you can’t do everything” so not everything is at all times in your control, like Iqbal said

“zaroorat tor deti hai ghoroor-o-be-niazi ko,

na hoti koi majboori tou har banda khuda hota”

(Impuissance breaks men’s pride and vanity, for every man would be God, if there was no weakness in men)

True that! If everything was in everyones control everyone would be God. One is to understand that there are things which are absolutely in God’s control and you need not frustrate yourself on those, rather just believe in the divine power and have patience, give time it’s right and let it play it’s role for time is a very major factor in learning, growing, understanding and letting the teachings sink deep in you. After all what are all these problems about They teach you, help you grow stronger, and simply help you grow and understand the pain of suffering so that you may cherish and value happiness for only dark made men value light, and the cold made men value warmth.

Finally one fact to be kept in the focus of the mind is that nothing stays with you forever except your soul and you knowledge, feed both spiritually and intellectually, respectively; and since nothing else stays be ready always, to let go and expect least, because no one can help you unless you try to help yourself, remember Jesus carried his own cross.
