Life is simple; life is beautiful

Nothing is an accident here,
see if you can understand this.

The very reason why it is said that 'I am not the doer'
is because the movie has already been shot.
It is only and only your reaction to the movie 
that will get you a new character in some other movie.

And if you understand this fact,
you will be one with the director,
and not remain an actor.

But, if you play the role, as if things are in your control,
then know that nothing is in your control;
because scenes are already shot.

What was supposed to happen, has happened,

What is suppose to happen will happen.

However, there is something that is in your control
and that is your reaction to the scenes,
the scenes that you have experienced and
the scenes that you will experience.

Know that everyone has got their own karma
and we can perhaps help them to some extent
but we can't repay the karma on their behalf;
one needs to undergo his/her karma.

Isn't it a dream then? Is it not?
Like a dream, we simply have to go through
the experiences that come towards us.

There is no gain, there is no loss,
there is nothing to achieve, there is nothing to lose;
there is nothing to be afraid of.

Once you have this faith that
the Almighty will only do whatever is best for you
know that any path you choose will only be for your best,

Only He who knows what is best for all of us,
because He is the one who has been seeing us throughout all lifetimes.

Therefore, if someone is suffering despite all your efforts,
you simply pray for him/her;
probably the soul has come to suffer to repay the debts of karma.

So, trying to make everyone happy is simply impossible;
perhaps, someone temporarily may still achieve it,
but in the long run, each one has to go through their own karmas.

But what is certainly possible is to keep yourself happy,
and it is completely in our hands and thus our duty too!
It is not selfish to love yourself,
and it not selfish to do what makes you happy.

If we just understand all this
then life is very simple, life is very beautiful.
