I always get to listen to two entirely contradictory statements whenever I participate or hear any discussion related to Life of a person and how it is governed. For those, who fear God; life is in the hands of the Almighty. Nothing they do, could possibly change their course of life; as everything is controlled by that ONE. The ONE up there would decide how a person's life should sail, how he should walk and which path he should walk...Strange, because that would mean that we are simply puppet in the hands of the puppeteer. And many do agree with this statement. "Sab ishwar ke haath hain" (everything is in the hands of God). People of such perception; call them God fearing, religious, etc would always point any incident as act of God and would not take accountability of it.
The second category is of course of those who believe in themselves. "My life is in my own hands" are the people who carve their own path and decide their own destination. These people don't believe that their life is controlled or governed by any other force except that of themselves. Call them the practicals or atheists; they take responsibilities of their life on themselves.
And now comes my point of view; but before that I would point out few queries which came in my mind, while I pondered on these two battle of perceptions....At one side they say "Believe in God" and on the other side they say "God helps those who help themselves". Strange !! The puppeteer asking the puppet to believe that he is the Master controller, yet the puppet shouldn't put the entire responsibility on him....Sounds to me like the work of a corporate Boss; "I am your boss; but you are accountable for your own work". No wonder majority of humans remain confused as to which side to take. You don't want to leave the side of the ONE; but you can't depend on HIM for your entire life's each and every work either. I suppose the reader is understanding what I am getting at !!
Now comes my view. Since "to each his own", so I have come up with my own reasoning to this dilemma of "PICTURE PERFECT"....If anyone has seen The Matrix trilogy; then they could understand my perception a bit easily. My reasoning is in a way inspired by 'Middle Path'; where I agree to both category's view, yet putting my own flavour in it. In the Matrix (part 1); Morpheus had asked Neo a simple yet very important question about Life- "Do you believe in Destiny?"; to which Neo had replied, "No, I don't like the fact that I am not in control of my own life"..He had acted very much like the second category people. But after watching all the three parts of the trilogy; you would agree that he believed both in Destiny and his own choices with passing time...."There always is a choice", as he had said. My view believes in two aspects- First is Destiny (which is in hands of God/Nature) and second is Choice (which is in hands of a person). Our Picture Perfect is inked with both these aspects all along.
I compare a person's life with that of a B-E-A-utiful painting; a painting which is beyond imagination of anyone. So beautiful that one could keep staring at that painting for hours and hours, wondering how in God's name could anyone paint this awesome creation. Every person's life could be like this painting, I believe. Destiny (or our ONE) it seems has sketched very person's life in HIS sketchbook of humanity. Each person comes to this world with a beautiful sketch of his life; and that's where the role of God ends majorly. Destiny has done its job before you know what Life is all about; rest then HE leaves it up to you to fill the colors. And this is where life of every person goes different. Now it comes to the person's knowledge, perception, ability, evolution (of mind & spirit); as to how he paints his life and transforms the beautiful sketch to either a beautiful painting or a haunted house.
Imagine some one gives you a sketch of a countryside scenery. There is a house, jungle, farm, road, stream, clouds, mountain range in the background, people, animals...a common nice sketch we all see most of times. Now imagine it filled with the right colors for every aspect of the sketch. The clouds are white, the jungle green, snowy white mountain, blue stream...of course every reader's imagination would differ than mine; but you get the Idea !!....The painting after completing would look real nice, and you would love to keep it in your house, may b in bedroom where you could look at it everyday. A glimpse of such magnificent creation, the first thing in the morning would energize you to pass the day no matter what comes... That's how our life is, it could either give you energy or drain you out of it. Now wonder for a second, if someone paints the very same sketch with no idea about color combinations. He paints the mountain- black, the stream- red, the jungle- blue, the clouds- yellow....I don't know about others, but I wouldn't like to keep such a painting in my house...It becomes a disaster; why?? Because the person didn't have the knowledge of the various aspects of colors...Life is similar to such a case...If a person is spiritually not aware, if his knowledge is not worthy of life; then he is assumed to color his life wrongly at some point of his life, maybe most times or maybe every time...Depends how his life is shaped !!
Spiritual knowledge, discipline of mind and body, knowledge of the world & nature around us is required to be learned and known by a person to paint his life's sketch nice and good. We see some personalities from History, whom we believe to have lived their life...to live a destined life. Apparently, these people have coloured the right aspects of their sketch with right colors. Knowledge of life is very important, especially if you want the picture beautiful. Of course we humans are allowed to make some wrong choices here and there, because of which we face troubles and pains in life. I believe this is allowed in very young days; but once the mind has developed and consciousness has emerged, then the person should strive to know himself and the world around. We focus only on education (to excel in competition), recognition, money, family, love, power...things which could come at later point of time too...things which is correctly said that "it can't be taken with us after this life". Once I came to understand this view of life, things & perceptions have quite changed for me.
Spiritual Knowledge; knowledge to evolve our spirit within (and nothing to do with religion). To get detached from the materialistic world and see our life from a wider perspective. To get connected to our true self, which lies deep within; to get acquainted with who we truly are should be a quest everyone should take up....Discipline of Mind & Body; is a way to spiritual enlightenment (maybe not like Buddha, but nonetheless we should try). We born with a body and a mind to walk this earth. Thus it becomes essential to know these two entities, control them and use them for a worth purpose. Just the way a Gladiator knows only to train his body for a fight and not anything else (not money, not business...just fight & win); same way we should train our body to remain fit and pure so as to hold the powerful mind and train our mind to reach out to realms of spiritual world. Knowledge of world and nature around us becomes easier once we know ourselves properly. Since we live in this world, so the rules of this nature is essential to know. VIBGYOR tells you about seven colours apart from white and black; but you need to know features of each colour so as to mix two and make a new colour. Knowledge of nature's game, helps us to live this world the way nature wants us to live.
So coming back to track, knowledge of all these aspects will allow us to paint our picture just for the purpose the sketch was made initially. Lying, cheating, killing, anger, sadness, lust, love, guilt, all such emotions tend us to make mistakes in our life's picture. You lie to someone and you put a mark in that picture; that will add on to your picture's haunted look...You look at a woman with wrong intentions, and another splash of wrong color is struck over the painting. The ONE up there doesn't want all this, destiny wants everyone to have a beautiful picture in their bedroom; its us who paint it bad and blame the world & God for all the wrongs happening to us. We can't do that. If Neo, had chosen to stay back once the Oracle had told him about Morpheus's trouble; then he wouldn't have transformed into the One. He might not have believed in himself as One, he might not have known of his later successes; but he did believe that the sketch was made for him and he had to make a choice.
PICTURE PERFECT is in OUR hands. It is sketched by the all knowing nature (so we shouldn't doubt about its awesomeness); how we could repay back to the sketcher and give justice to ourselves is to evolve ourselves and paint it beautifully....
I know there would be many questions arising from this view of mine (and I welcome to be questioned); after all even I am in the quest to evolve myself !!!!

Consequence of Pain in Love !!
People fall in love and after falling, they ask why they are hurt... Strange question I feel to ask, as they themselves say they "fell in love"...Now if you fall, you will get hurt...But its not the hurt which I fear (because we fall only to learn how to get up ourselves), its the mindset which forms after getting up (If one falls after slipping on a banana peel, should not make him feel that he should not eat or touch any banana)...All pain leave a mark, I was once told by a friend, just like a scar...If we hammer nails on a board and then take them out, the marks of the nails still remain. Humans, have the gift to consciously erase these marks if they wish to, but doing so damage their inner self or soul if I might say. Although true love, doesn't hurt but I won't talk of it here; as its already talked about in my another blog (An admirer of True Love).....So let me visit the hearts of any boy and girl and see how they suffered......
Pain of love,
is unbearable to bear..
Death or been left behind,
is the only thing to fear....
At first so beautiful,
so mesmerizing to feel..
But when broken one thinks,
"why did I ever kneel"....
Death is unavoidable,
those destined would surely die..
No one can do anything for them,
they won’t come back with one’s cry....
So let’s see pain of love around,
where both boys & girls suffer..
In love they believed so much,
that later they turned out a duffer....
Ladies’ first I believe,
so in their life now I look..
Simple and innocent in world,
they always get caught in the hook....
Met she did a boy,
who charmed her in love..
Free she thought she became,
just like the flying Dove....
Her belief was immovable,
her trust, unshaken..
With life, her love she gave,
from him nothing was taken....
So sweet were those eyes,
so masculine his physique..
So gullible in nature she was,
that couldn’t see his technique....
A hero he was to her,
her protector of life..
He was all she could think,
and desired to be his wife....
Separation was unthinkable,
the very thought a sin..
Yet he moved out of her life,
while throwing her innocence in the bin....
The boy cared not,
for what she felt for him..
His ego & life came first,
prime was his own whim....
Played he did with her,
time was just to enjoy..
She is just a girl for him,
something to play with & toy....
Another girl or love,
family or money..
Why did he leave her?
why he said, “Sorry honey”?....
“Was I not right for him?
was something amiss?
What was not there in me, he felt?
what did he miss?”....
She thought countless times,
asked him times innumerable..
Lived with the faith to have him,
crawled with memories memorable....
No answer she got at once,
for the boy cared not..
And when she did get one,
it was, “You are no Hotshot”....
Cried she did at such times,
flood of her precious tears..
“So he leaves me after all”,
true came her fears....
Asks she does to God,
“Was this what I deserve?
Wasn’t I true to my love,
or is there someone else you reserve?”....
Nights became long,
days showered heat..
Weak she felt always,
no strength to take any beat....
Strained becomes the eyes,
red becomes the face..
The chirpy girl once,
now walks at slow pace....
So faith goes out of her heart,
all boys become to her bad..
Even if a true one approaches her,
her past still declares him, “Bad Lad”....
Cautious she becomes,
her heart beats no more..
Till the true one tries,
and makes her free from core....
Numerous are incidences like such..
thus goes story of a girl..
If only boys could know it,
that a woman is truly the black pearl....
Come I now to a boy,
“Tell me your story, dude?..
Did you meet your loved one yet,
or to you she behaved rude?”....
So lovely was her face,
so beautiful her smile..
So much was he affected,
that he became senile....
Her freshness gave him strength,
her words gave him courage..
In this boredom life of his,
she was his leverage....
Those rosy eyes of hers,
those silky hair to shine..
He was in dreams with one thought,
“She is mine and only mine”....
Unforgettable days passed,
he forgot the world around..
She was the “Sun” for him,
revolved he did, round & round....
Goals became easy,
strong he felt to face,
He is the winner always,
conquerable is every race....
Then comes doomsday,
for him world came to end..
She left him for some reason,
a pain he couldn't mend....
Torturous became his life,
tormented from the act..
Thought he did so much,
for why she broke the pact....
The girl’s silence was unbearable,
to stay away for so long..
He aged daily in her absence,
no more he felt strong....
Finally he was answered,
“I found someone else sweet..
I miss you still in my life,
why don’t you find someone else to tweet”....
Answer was as baffling as her silence,
is this why she goes?..
For another boy to live with
to another now she bows??....
Cried his heart for once,
took out he did all of it..
No more love or emotions,
no more with such I should be hit....
A vow; a pledge is called,
that woman is the reason..
Downfall of man & his emotions,
punished she shall be for her treason....
He is no Adam of Eden,
he is no Antony of Rome..
He is no Puppet to be played with,
for a woman he will not enter his dome...
Emotionless he becomes,
and could act in any way..
Either to play with another woman,
or for them he would never sway....
No girl is of importance,
no one deserves his love..
To ensure this happens,
he shot his inner dove....
Path of Loneliness he took,
alone he shall be whole life..
No one to give him company,
no one to stay as his wife....
The other becomes vengeful,
played he did with girls..
Bought them like jewelry,
and broke the precious pearls....
Even if a true girl now comes,
one would not sway..
The other would think her same,
and with her he would play....
Steeled is one’s heart,
the other recognizes none..
Both suffered and suffer still,
with love both are done....
This is the story of pain,
this is their past..
Boy and girl alike,
suffer as an outcast....
If only they had faith,
I would say them to believe..
To come out of what happened
to think the entered true one as relieve....
Love never cries
nor makes anyone cry..
It refreshes you in desert,
it never leaves you dry....
Interesting; but I have only one thing to say then- "To Love or not to Love", that is the question !!!! :)
Pain of love,

Promise !!
The importance of a promise to a friend or a loved one. To what limit shall it be respected or there is no limit to begin with ??
A person to meet,
a companion to talk..
A promise to make,
a pledge to chalk....
A bond of importance,
a committment to make..
Love or friendship,
never should it break....
A pact so sacred,
to deny it is a sin..
A bond so powerful,
that for eternity it should win....
For love one lives,
for the same one dies..
but when this love walks away,
why then one cries ??
Promise is between two souls,
it is understanding of two minds..
if one leaves the ground,
why to it the other still binds....
Why is this pledge so valuable,
that one should be tied to it..
If the other forsakes the bond,
then why should one die for it ??
Replied I am to this,
that to change & adopt is must..
If one clings to it forever,
then in the end he is bound to burst....
Time & patience is all,
when one is hurt in such..
But further when I inquired,
no one could tell me much....
Could time be an answer ??
'cause once a scar, always a one..
Could patience be an ointment ??
'cause once burnt, ashes can't be undone....
To adhere is bold & brave,
but foolish many of us say..
To respect a promise broken,
means with life one has to pay....
Why still bow to it ??
when other respects it not..
Why not be practical ??
and evade from getting rot....
To stand firm is noble,
it is honorable & courageous..
To unshake the very bond,
is trusting & righteous....
But weak is the heart,
that it can't see reality..
so the humane mind says,
to withdraw should be a certainty....
Life is to enjoy & cherish,
to brood is not an option..
Seeking another mate is advised,
another companionship be thy intention...
What is gone is gone,
repent should one not..
Past is left behind,
for the future should you now trot....
To leave when needed most,
isn't that falsehood to say ??
To stand beside the promise,
to strengthen it & pray....
Pray for whom is asked,
for one who leaves you back ??
Why still bowing to them ??
strength & trust when they lack....
Weak is your soul,
feeble is thy heart..
Accept & move on,
another you will surely find....
Drawn you haven't the first blood,
why then feel guilty inside ??
The sinner walks proudly,
yet with the relation you abide....
An answer is sought,
for what is to be done..
To abide by what is promised,
or let the promise undone....
To conclude from what I hear,
the promise must be given respect..
but accept when another comes,
don't deny the "second chance" aspect....
Don't be first to break,
don't be one to walk away..
Uphold the pledge till the time,
another comes your way....
To love is natural,
to befriend is virtuous..
to betray is sin,
to alienate is unrighteous....
I am still not sure of this,
of what to accept or not..
So ask I do, if anyone reads,
if an answer to this you have got....

Poetic Language: An Admirer of True Love !!
My previous post will show my critic nature to true love and its existence. Why commit to something which doesn't give any return nor respect you back. Why love someone when no love is returned...Well, there always is a reason behind true love for it is neither ordinary nor simple.
In the following words, my heart speaks in the favour of this true love. Hope anyone who reads this will understand the feeling behind it.
True love is sacred,
so it only comes to those..
Strong in their belief
whose faith never bows....
Mystical to understand,
for its value is eternal..
Difficult to learn by any means,
be it internal or external....
Chosen few are those,
who felt its feel..
Cosmic in nature,
to it one tends to kneel....
Said it is by Krishna,
"Experience my love..
Joy and bliss will come,
become my lovely Dove"....
For this did Radha step,
who felt his gracious presence..
In love there are no rules,
meager is even the common sense....
Enjoy the feelings,
cherish the moment..
'Cause you never know when,
again the heart could go dormant....
Music can be heard,
just like Krishna's flute..
Soothing to ears and mind,
even the brain denies to be a brute....
Mesmerizing is its power,
dreamy becomes the day..
So engrossed one becomes in love,
that against it there is no say....
Your eyes shine seeing the other,
you fall into the other's arm..
Impossible you will feel then,
that there could be any harm....
Love is magical,
so it is also healing..
Any wound is cured,
by giving you Herculean feeling....
Impossible becomes easy,
thorn seems rosy..
Night becomes day,
and life is never lousy....
Purpose does remain,
for such love to be there..
It gives you strength to live,
it teaches you to share....
Go into its depth,
& the secret shall be known..
You are its reason for existence,
to you it was to be shown....
Admit the truth it shares,
believe what it teaches..
Feel yourself destined,
before the end, your life reaches....
This love has vast experience,
from the countless ages it has seen..
This memory it shares with you,
so as a student you should be keen....
Believe me when I say,
that this love betrays you not..
It may leave you for any reason,
but that reason by you should be thought....
Not all endings are evil,
not all roads are bad..
A bit of pain it might pass,
but not all pains are sad....
By sadness it teaches,
in self's love to have hope..
to make that heart strong,
to bind it by faith's rope....
True love never abandons,
its always there with you..
Its purpose is to make you wise,
so that you don't ask, "What to do?"....
Unconditional should be your faith,
unquestioning should be your act..
Rewarding would be your life,
beautiful indeed is such a pact....
Be it Laila & Majnu,
or Cleopatra & Antony..
Consider Romeo or Juliet,
no one's love was ever phony....
They all knew their love,
they all submitted to it..
They all lived for that "LOVE",
even were ready to die bit by bit....
Life & death has no meaning,
where true love is seen..
thats why I say to all,
to experience it be keen....
A new meaning emerges,
a new life will start..
Your eyes will open to nature,
& cured will be the heart....
No blame exists,
& anger lives not..
So rich is this love,
that this life you will love a lot....
Pray you will to this love,
to show you your destined way..
Never you will curse love,
never you will keep it at bay....
This is the sacred Love,
which Universe conspires..
To live & die for this love,
is what to you it inspires....
Token of words straight from the heart and my knowledge !! This is dedicated to that person who inspired me to think this way after a very very long time....
In the following words, my heart speaks in the favour of this true love. Hope anyone who reads this will understand the feeling behind it.
True love is sacred,
so it only comes to those..
Strong in their belief
whose faith never bows....
Mystical to understand,
for its value is eternal..
Difficult to learn by any means,
be it internal or external....
Chosen few are those,
who felt its feel..
Cosmic in nature,
to it one tends to kneel....
Said it is by Krishna,
"Experience my love..
Joy and bliss will come,
become my lovely Dove"....
For this did Radha step,
who felt his gracious presence..
In love there are no rules,
meager is even the common sense....
Enjoy the feelings,
cherish the moment..
'Cause you never know when,
again the heart could go dormant....
Music can be heard,
just like Krishna's flute..
Soothing to ears and mind,
even the brain denies to be a brute....
Mesmerizing is its power,
dreamy becomes the day..
So engrossed one becomes in love,
that against it there is no say....
Your eyes shine seeing the other,
you fall into the other's arm..
Impossible you will feel then,
that there could be any harm....
Love is magical,
so it is also healing..
Any wound is cured,
by giving you Herculean feeling....
Impossible becomes easy,
thorn seems rosy..
Night becomes day,
and life is never lousy....
Purpose does remain,
for such love to be there..
It gives you strength to live,
it teaches you to share....
Go into its depth,
& the secret shall be known..
You are its reason for existence,
to you it was to be shown....
Admit the truth it shares,
believe what it teaches..
Feel yourself destined,
before the end, your life reaches....
This love has vast experience,
from the countless ages it has seen..
This memory it shares with you,
so as a student you should be keen....
Believe me when I say,
that this love betrays you not..
It may leave you for any reason,
but that reason by you should be thought....
Not all endings are evil,
not all roads are bad..
A bit of pain it might pass,
but not all pains are sad....
By sadness it teaches,
in self's love to have hope..
to make that heart strong,
to bind it by faith's rope....
True love never abandons,
its always there with you..
Its purpose is to make you wise,
so that you don't ask, "What to do?"....
Unconditional should be your faith,
unquestioning should be your act..
Rewarding would be your life,
beautiful indeed is such a pact....
Be it Laila & Majnu,
or Cleopatra & Antony..
Consider Romeo or Juliet,
no one's love was ever phony....
They all knew their love,
they all submitted to it..
They all lived for that "LOVE",
even were ready to die bit by bit....
Life & death has no meaning,
where true love is seen..
thats why I say to all,
to experience it be keen....
A new meaning emerges,
a new life will start..
Your eyes will open to nature,
& cured will be the heart....
No blame exists,
& anger lives not..
So rich is this love,
that this life you will love a lot....
Pray you will to this love,
to show you your destined way..
Never you will curse love,
never you will keep it at bay....
This is the sacred Love,
which Universe conspires..
To live & die for this love,
is what to you it inspires....

Poetic Language: A Critic to True Love
After a long time I picked up the keys of keyboard to honor my blog.....This time although I take no serious thoughts to share. For the very first time I allowed my heart to win over the brain, for if its not so then I might not remain sane....This blog is encouraged from my friend's blog where I conversed with her about "True Love". I was told that true love is about surrender and submission, it is to be slave of the other. While she was in support of its existence, I remained a critic. Of course, the following words don't imply that I don't have a heart, its just the brain tries to act like the big brother of my heart knowing the heart to be weak and susceptible ...Hope it touches those who wish to know both sides of the coin, for without one the other can't exist...
To be a slave is to be low,
for even I am not a king..
Don't offer or submit to anyone,
don't shed that free wing....
Share your life with pride,
for even a slave can at times rise..
Let me know your true worth,
let me feel that you are wise....
No offer is more or less,
you are meant to share the reign
I give you back your freedom,
beside my throne you are to be seen....
Let there be no compromise,
for true love believes in it not...
It only sees love and respect,
the heart is never shot....
Love means not to loose,
it doesn't know "I" or "YOU"
It only knows about giving,
it knows to be true....
Love asks not,
Love demands none..
It only feels the presence,
it only bathes in the Sun....
For what I mean to say,
is that love is always mutual..
Don't surrender or submit to other,
Don't even go for a fierce dual....
True as you say,
the stream merges in ocean..
but no more it remains fresh & sweet,
no more it experiences its own motion....
To loose oneself in love,
is to mean subtraction..
But is that what love is about ??
'Cause completeness comes with addition....
Maintain your dignity,
keep to yourself your feel..
Only when you know the other,
then you open your seal....
Love's meaning is lost,
people think their own..
but universal love is that,
which by nature has been shown....
Blame you cannot,
nor be angry or sad..
You have to unconditionally obey,
even if the other is bad....
There still has been no example,
where true love has won..
No compromise-no separation,
where completeness has been shown....
I rest my case to you,
tell me if you know one..
And happy I shall be as much,
for my seal then can be undone....
To be a slave is to be low,
for even I am not a king..

Ego of Man !!
The ego of man,
never wants to bend down.
It always wants to win
it always desires the crown.
No matter what he faces,
no matter what he is told.
He always does what he want,
he always tries to be bold.
The ego of man
is the very reason for his fall.
No matter how much one tries,
it stands as an unbreakable wall.
It clouds his judgment,
it fogs his mind.
And even in broad daylight,
he feels like a blind.
It quenches his thirst,
it feeds his emotion.
It disowns the truth,
while its lies increase in proportion.
It promises to be his friend,
it stays along with him.
It shows road to success,
while raising the thirst in him.
He disowns truth as false,
and accepts the ego as right.
He creates a world of his own,
where he is always prepared to fight.
It is not that ego is wrong,
since it helps him in his survival.
What makes its path different is,
it allows deceit's arrival.
It doesn't see right & wrong,
the ego only knows of the end.
Success is its only goal,
for which, even rules it can bend.
The ego knows only of itself,
and nothing else matters to it.
Even if the self is affected,
even he breaks bit by bit.
The ego makes man proud,
it gives him false hope.
it deceitfully cleanses his mind,
and makes him feel like the Pope.
This is how ego survives,
this is how its deceit goes on.
While man feels himself safe,
the ego pulls him down to drown.
Where then does lie his escape?
How can he be free?
Only by accepting the presence of ego,
free he might be.
The ego is man's pride,
and this pride has to be taken away.
He has to accept the terms,
without which he will again sway.
Truth has to be accepted,
righteousness has to stay.
For if ego returns to him,
with his life, it will again play.
never wants to bend down.

it always desires the crown.

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are...it is our choices !!
Is it actually true, that we are recognized by our choices and not by our abilities ?? How could the conscious choice of a man be given more importance than his abilities, which actually helps in bearing the fruits of his labour ??
It might be- that our choices actually direct us to our goals; they decide the road to be taken by us; where as our abilities simply qualify or complement us to travel on that road.
Abilities are the capabilities which man has in him to perform a task, to make him feel strong in taking a right decision; and that right decision comes from conscious choice of that man. Both are inter-dependent to an extent, yet the choice decides the fate of man rather than the abilities. Abilities come to man either from birth or polished over a long period of time and experience; where as choice is something which man makes in every important step of his life. His choice is dependent (at times) upon his abilities and later on decides the usage of those (or other) abilities. To make crude comparison- ability is like a stored energy, it can be positive or negative energy (or) potential or kinetic energy. Choice is the determining factor for the ultimate fate of that stored energy. Meaning, ability is the energy, where as choice makes it kinetic or potential.
To take my favourite example from literature- Sherlock Holmes had once told that had he not become a detective, then he would have become the most famous criminal of his times. But he didn’t, he became one of the legends in criminal literature. Why ?? Just because of his choice, a conscious choice made by him to pursue the road of righteousness rather than that of crime. He had the analytical abilities inside him for both good and evil purposes, but in the end his choice said it all. Now let’s give some emphasis to ability. Holmes also was excellent in chemistry and used to perform various chemical experiments, not to mention his skills in playing violin too. So according to these abilities of his, he could have opted for research in chemistry or to a theatrical environment to hone his musical skills. But the question which crops in my mind is- would he have become equally famous in those fields as he had become in that of crime ?? I guess only Arthur Conan could answer to that, while rest we know is legendary……
It is very aptly said by the character Morpheus in the movie “The Matrix Reloaded”- Everything begins with a choice. In the movie, Neo had made the choice to believe in himself and thus increased his abilities as per the requirement (of course the movie mixes the philosophies of destiny, ability, choices & action). Indeed it is true that man’s choice decides his road to destiny. But sometimes man doesn’t know of his abilities and hence makes wrong decisions, thus leading to unwise/undesired results. For those destined to be successful & make a name in history, destiny reveals its purpose bit by bit to them; but for those who live a normal (struggling to be happy) life, choice has a great role. A simple choice can change a man’s life from one extreme to another and most of the times ability has nothing to do with it
Let’s take few famous and simple examples to see it-
Siddhartha (Gautam Buddha) was a crowned prince & he was strong, wise and intelligent (or else he wouldn’t have won his wife’s hand in swayamvar). He was the only son of his father and thus unquestionably would have become the king of a great empire. But he didn’t listen to his abilities, did he now? No sir, he made a conscious choice for a far greater & righteous purpose- in short, his destiny and became Buddha. He was stopped, discouraged & distracted many a times by Mara (the Evil one) & his family, yet his choice never wavered. Indeed, this is true respect to one’s choice.
Adolf Hitler had a deep interest in painting & wanted to become a painter; also he was a field soldier in WWI. But fate I believe, had other plans for him & by serious of incidents led him to make the most important conscious choice of his life, ultimately affecting the political scenario of the 20th century world. Rest we know is history. Narendra had studied in law & was from a well to do family; but by making a conscious choice, today we know him as Swami Vivekananda.
I know of a person who had studied in political science (non mathematical background) and was interested in Indian civil service, today he is doing well in the armed forces of India (which requires mathematical knowledge). His choice was not dependent on his abilities. Also there is a person I know of from non-biological background, and yet today he is working in a Pharma company & in the director level.
What I wish to share here is that although most of the times we give importance to our abilities, yet we should never forget the power of “Choice” which ultimately is responsible for our life. Our choice reflects our character and not the abilities. A person having a criminal mind can become a criminal, and yet can make a conscious choice of joining the police force. A man of excellent scientific knowledge can become a scientist, & yet can join corporate sector to utilize his knowledge. The choice of a man later turns into his habit and later shapes his character. Start of a good habit by making a conscious choice, live up to that choice, and you shall emerge in life with a fresh & pure character within you.
Like the character Albus Dumbledore says in the story of Harry Potter & chamber of secrets; “it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities”
The ability is within you,
but choice decides your fate.
Believe in that choice,
& your life, you will never hate…
Shape up thy destiny,
raise your inner voice.
Be strong in character,
just by making a choice…
Let thy choice rule,
let thy choice guide.
You could reach your end,
by your choice thy should abide…
