If Everything Is Preordained..

Me : “ Whatever was to happen has happened. Whatever has to happen will happen ” - that’s one of your lines, right ? 

Voice : Right. 

Me : You know how futile I can feel with this thought ? 

Voice : You know how long it has taken for you to ignite a sense of futility to world affairs ?  

Me : Might as well remain resigned to everything that happens and simply go through the motions…. 

Voice : Perfect…..but somehow you won’t do that.

Me : Sigh... Yes. I mean if everything is pre-ordained, where is my damn role ?

Voice : Oh with the most important part.

Me : And that is ??

Voice : Karma happens to you, but how you FEEL about what happens to you is everything. This is in your hands.

Me : Hmm

Voice : It's not the action that is binding, but the notion of it.

Me : Now, I really need to process this.

Voice : The world is caught up in the actions of self and others, instead of being immersed in the most important aspect of 'how you feel'. You end up in the entanglement of karmas because of your lack of attention to how you are supposed to respond and feel. Feelings of anger, hatred, resentment, sadness, frustration, distrust, attachment means you have let the drama of life control how you feel. This will bring a feeling of being stuck in life. 

Karmas will play out. They will. They are intricately woven for your spiritual growth. Instead of using this to free yourself, your ignorance creates more bondage.   

What happens outside is to stir you inside. Instead, your attention is everywhere except where it needs to really be. It's natural for a flawed vision to bring flawed results.      

    

Always bring your awareness on how you are feeling. Consciously work on this. Because this is what you can change. In the end, how you feel moment to moment about whatever that is happening around you or to you, will determine your evolution.

Me : It's not easy to be detached to everything that happens in your life.

Voice : I know. That's where My love for you comes in.

Me : But, you don’t alter Karmas.

Voice : But, I give you opportunities to transcend it. In my compassion, I keep allowing the same situations in your life to remain for as long as you may need - until finally overcoming it using the divine qualities of love, joy, peace, forgiveness, surrender and contentment. And when you succeed, the situation has served its purpose and you no longer need it in your experience. 

What makes the difference is not what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you. And lack of this understanding brings you suffering. 

But, because I love you so much, I let those circumstances remain or reappear in your life, so you could finally wake up to the falseness of your existence and become someone who chooses love, no matter what situation you face.  

   

Me : In other words, if I am repeatedly in a situation I hate to be in - it's probably your love and compassion that's throwing me in challenges ??

Voice : I never use coercion. But, I can wait endlessly for you to make your choices. I have all the time in the world for you to wake up. Because I love you.  

You feel despair because of your strong attachment to your false identity. You are putting all your energy and efforts to change and control what is pre-ordained. How can you ever be at ease, when you resist the natural balance of cause and effect ?     

Things only change with how you feel. Remember this before you resign in utter dejection of your situation. It's you who is making a choice to remain in karmic entanglements and suffering. Effortless detachment comes from understanding the greater spiritual cause.  

Me : Hmm

Voice : Your firm and repeated resolve to operate from love and forgiveness will open your soul to the ultimate treasure of spiritual reality bringing you everlasting peace, joy and equipoise.     

And this will bring a day when you will be in a state of immense gratitude for your hard trials and so-called 'villains' in your life. 

Me : And then, all that burden of my karmic baggage becomes lighter and I progress on the Path ? 

Voice : For a person with equipoise, what avail is any progress or even a Path ?
