Why We Don't Know The Future!

Here are few cases where you may make your own judgement and find out if these people knew the future, what they would have done or not done!
If you knew well in advance that the child that would be born to you would be a downs syndrome child or autistic,would you have even gone for a child?
If you knew that the person you are marrying is a violent natured person who will one day gouge your eyes out, would you have got married?
If you knew well in advance that you are going to be a cricketer instead of a scientist, would you take a PhD in Physics?
If you knew that someone dear to you is about to die in a road accident would you allow that person to go out?
In the same way would you invest in a market that is about to tank?
We will never go close to anything where the outcome is not going to be as per our liking and we would only want that which is profitable to us.
Now see the down side of it. Just imagine if that which you have to get from someone and the someone that has to give do not coordinate then there would be chaos in this universe. If the one who has to get killed and the one who is the killer knew well in advance then both of them would never meet.
The progress in this universe would come to a dead halt and nothing would work.
This amazing method which keeps us in suspense works in a wonderful way.
If you have to get a legacy from some ancestor of yours does not die then how would it come to you?
If the two who have to meet and get married live in two different parts of the world do not meet then how would the future unfold?
Now I hope you understand why it is important that you do not know the future now or ever!
Even Shri Ram never knew His future. If He knew then there wouldn't have been Ramayan!
True Gods know the future but they do not tend to do anything about it at all.
They let destiny take its due course and do not interfere with it.
Krishna knew about Hi death but He allowed His entire family to perish and Himself died with the wound from arrow that was cursed.
Now we cannot emulate Shri Krishna so we do not know our own future like Him.
The idea about why things happen the way they do can only be got from the distant future when we look at it in retrospection.
Then we know that what has to be will be and we will never be privy to it.

I Don't Like What You Do!

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it! Spiritual does not happen to a person the way you may get married or pass your school or college. It is mentioned in the holy texts that urge and desire to know God or Self comes about very rarely. Every individual knows about God from his own parents or relatives or friends. His knowledge is as trivial as theirs. None of these are qualified to talk about God. Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a
