U turn in life

When the life takes a U turn with unexpected blows, we feel as if we are killed in our thought and energies. We never see something good waiting for us and we just go crazy and sometimes depressed. Destiny rules and we are just made to obey whatever happens in our life. I was asked by a student “sir, can I get a straight line to my results in the annual examination?” Very funny questioning when I was teaching the slope of a straight line.  My prompt answer was to find out the ways and means most suitable to your IQ so that with minimum efforts you can. We are habituated to have an easy way out and hesitate to pass through hurdles. But we do not know hurdles too make our mind and morals sharp and we get many good things while passing through it. In another event, a friend asked me to find out a way so that something magic can happen in life. Life itself a magic and we should enjoy it with our intrusion. Long days back one Sadhu predicted something looking at my horoscope. I just smiled at him as I knew these predictions are not to happen unless I put due efforts. I knew we are the maker of our destiny if we are determined and true to our heart. Again in the mid of my life I got blows and I turned submissive to astrology. People predict this month, that day you will be in right path but I never see a solution to the problems that I face. Time passes, my healthy mind gets disengaged and the world around seems unreal, uncertain and unbelievable. Why this happens in everyone’s life??? Why we are faced with so much of pain??? Sometimes we make wrong decisions and to correct it later we also commit blunder, a more serious wrong that turns hard to bear with. We never feel content with what we have. What we do it seems right now but later it is felt wrong. This is because we are illusioned with our ego.  Every action has a time and due effort and we misunderstood it so we face the consequence. Life is not what we dream, it is how we make it.
