We humans are so brilliant at forcing
things to happen. Actually, we don't realize it but we are forcing the hand of
God. Everything happens at the right time but patience is not a virtue at the
best of times.
Remember the story of the cocoon that was
forced open before time for the butterfly to emerge but it resulted only in its
destruction.
Everything happens as preordained. The
birth of a child, the ripening of fruit on the tree, the rise and set of the
sun , the waxing and waning of the moon, a wedding of two people, dawn and
dusk... even our destiny unfolding. It is such an egoistic illusion that we do
anything.
Forcing something before time upsets the
natural balance and the order of things. If we look back, we can remember
several such incidents. The only way it works is watch as life unfolds and let
it determine the direction of the flow.
