I remember an advertisement
with a line ‘Zindgi main kuch to ho aisa jo ho ek jaisa’.
Change is inevitable.
So, how to cope up with change? One way is to accept the change and move on
with present.
Acceptance.
But can acceptance come without understanding. Understanding, can we understand
more than our experience.
What is change?
When do you realize that something is changed? I think that feeling that
something has changed breeds from lack of understanding.
Let me make an
attempt to put it. Life is a flow; flow of time, flow of events. Daily we are
going through this flow without complaining, sometimes happily also. As if, we
are counting 1,2,3,4. But then one day it becomes 4,6,7,8, and it agitates us
that something has changed.
Either 5 was
never supposed to be there. Pattern was like 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,11. Our
understanding was wrong, and our wrong expectation leads us to see it as
change.
Another view
can be that at every point our actions are determining the next event. For example
if we keep on adding 1 to every previous number we will get 1,2,3,4 and on. But
at 4 we have added 2 to get 6.
We many times
don’t understand the how our actions have made the change, because we don’t
have that level of conscious alertness to understand complex effects of our
actions.
Lastly, on
another higher level, there is no pattern in flow. It is so random for our mind
to understand. Only way to live without complaining about change is to
surrender ourselves to present. Take responsibility for honesty in our actions,
honesty of our intentions and leave results to greater forces of universe.
