ACCEPTANCE OF THE COSMIC PLAN: Its this total acceptance that - all that has happened, happening & shall happen is a part of an intelligent cosmic plan in which there is a little that we can alter or edit. It can solve many unnecessary agitations in our ever conflicting minds. Take for an instance, the galactic space around us and the forces that sustains and mobilizes it. Is it random or orderly? Is it cyclic or erratic? Is it interspaced mathematically or just jumbled? If the entire universe has a hidden intelligence that controls and guides its every element, we as humans cannot be an exception. It's only a matter of time that we discover it. Till then, it makes credible sense to accept it unconditionally.
NON-DOERSHIP: No matter how much we feel being in active participation and control of our own success and failures, a slight insight shall reveal that our actions are simply a resultant of a series of past events over which we had no control. Think for once of any action that you have taken today, which you firmly believe is your own decision. What instigated this decision? Analyse. A previous action? And what instigated that action? Another previous action? As you track this chain of one action creating premises for another and travel backwards, you shall reach the first action which you will find that is simply as a result of collecting some information at a given time and location on which you had no control whatsoever. Then how can one claim to be the Doer? This understanding can put us into a perspective of non-doership, thus releasing us from the burden of carrying the pride of our achievements while parallelly relieving us from guilt of our failures.
100% EFFORTS: Having poised on the above, though seemingly contradictory but in any given situation putting 100% efforts to the best of our ability is the right choice to opt for. Total acceptance and a sense of non-doership creates an unperturbed poised platform. A mind that is not disturbed with the external situation around and is internally free from every sense of guilt or shame along with pride and ego, serves as the most fertile ground. And that is the springboard from where one needs to contemplate, plan and execute. The impact of such actions is everlasting, sometimes in the external realm and sometimes in the internal realm of the individual.
Paradoxical, Tricky, Complex...yet Experiential, are these TRIDENT PHILOSOPHIES OF SHIVA.
