"Jo likha hai vo hi hoga": Friends you must have heard this quote so many times. Whenever some thing happens, we say yeh hona tha kyunki yehi likha tha. What is this? Do any one knows kya likha hai ? NO one knows but we simply console ourselves with this quote. There are innumerable such quotes in our day to day life. Such quotes are totally confusing in my view. Like another quote that "Samay se pehle and Bhagya se jyaada nahi milta". Now this quote is also bit confusing. If we just struggle and dont achieve we console our selves that "samay se pehle......." But what do we mean by Samay and who knows about this. In my view such quotes restrict you from achieving. We quote simply because we hear but probably we need to analyse all such quotes.
I seek your views on this.

Hi Jain Saheb,
Sorry for reacting late. Interesting site with some very searching questions. Also enjoyed you brief gist of yourself. Thank you.
In my book Jain Saheb, all and everything about life is interconnected in ways which we can only fathom a little at a time. If we are preoccupied with other things then our questions tend to remain unanswered for ourselves. But interconnectedness means "a fine balance". The components for this balancing act are a complex combination of facts, racial and settler memories, contact (with the living and those gone on ahead - nothing to do with Zombies!!!), birth and upbringing, intelligence and capabilities, faith in the Spirit -of the universe, call it what you will. For me God is that spirit, the beginning and the end, such as we will never know perhaps, an endlessness of souls, in endless journeys through an endlessness which is what life is; the position of man, with good and evil on either side; a position for each of us to make our choices, constantly, all the time, in nano seconds (unlike the debate which suggested that there is no present - everything is the past and the future), though in truth, relativity exists.
we therefore are able to assert some of the time that "jo hona tha, ya jo likha tha; ya jo milna tha...."; though more often than not, only in hindsight.
But human responsibilities are several...to introspect so that you may know yourself through the eyes of others; to do what you have at hand in as good and faithful a manner as possible; to try and fulfil multiple responsibilities and roles, until when you actually are able to sit back and take stock.
Robert Frost was right when he said "way leads on to way"; but the thinking person will always recognise the choices he has, at every step. And to stop and turn, or carry on, or to stop entirely, are choices that he is EMPOWERED to make(by God, and by his own actions and understanding within the world he recognises as his own).
Hope that makes a little sense at least!
Warm regards,
Kabir
Dear Bhaiya,
1. I conceived FATE as a manufacturing machine and WORK as raw material put into that machine.
QUALITY OF RAW MATERIAL is the most important MODIFIABLE component in this setting. Though final outcome takes into account the processing by machine also.
So work hard and harder...
2. "jo likha hai...." quotation is a psychological defence machenism of human mind ego which gives him the narrow yet respectfully acceptable lane to escape the feeling of insufficiency or ill-decisions.
