Yesterday we had PTM in school and under unfortunate situation the principal left . She was a widow with two young college going kids and somehow the salary she was drawing was far beyond the capacity of the school . So we had no option but to discontinue with her .

All of us were disturbed at our own decision and felt bad and sorry . But my daughter gave a good philosophical piece of advice . She said that why we are feeling so powerful that we can control the destiny of people . Maybe we have discontinued her from a small school and god has decided a bigger , better role for her at some bigger , better school .

After few years maybe she turns out to be a stronger and more powerful person .

Most of the times it so happens that we take the onus of action on our own selves and start controlling the lives of people . We feel we are the masters and makers of destiny . We cannot forsee the future and hence take responsibility for all our actions . Even the holy scripture -GITA says only karma is in our hands . The fruits of that Karma is to be deciphered and judgment sanctioned by god itself .

Let go of things , situations and people . God and cosmos has designed the whole world . They have created the world . Those who argue against destiny fail to see that such great word cannot run on chaos and randomisation . There have to be set principles of laws of physics , chemistry , biology to make it work . Nature always works on set principles . Then only it will be governed in discipline . So we should absolve ourselves from the good and bad deeds of karmic laws . But this does not mean that we should be cruel , harsh and unjust . We should deal our life with proprietary and just . Rest will follow suit .
