One
of the things that we most conveniently disown our responsibility for, are our
unfavourable circumstances. We blame the world around us or we blame the sins
committed by us in our previous births, always convincing ourselves that we
have a very limited role in their making.
No God or power has granted to us our circumstances; we have
granted them to ourselves. With all the abilities granted to us by the God, is
it not our duty that as human beings, we convert all the unfavourable
circumstances into the favourable ones.
The theory of the continuity of life, a reality or a useful
myth, whatever it is; suggests that we alone were our ancestors and we alone
shall be our future generations. This theory gives enormous freedom to us to
carve out our fate and our circumstances.
The faith in the God does not amount to a timid surrender to
the consequences of our sins of the past and running away from the world
calling it an embodiment of the illusions of all kinds. Similarly, atheism is
not scientific enough in granting unlimited powers from some void to the man,
much limited in his physical, mental and intellectual prowess.
We need to own up whatever worldly and spiritual circumstances
we have; and, must work upon them to improve them, not for our individual and instantaneous
benefit, as that would not last, but for the benefit of all and for all the
times that we can think of. We don’t have control over time and space, but we
do have much control over our circumstances, both physical and spiritual.
