We can have an intent by all means for something to be so. But understand that we have no control over the outcome of anything, no control at all. That’s a hard one for most people….that the outcome of anything will be what its going to be, based on certain laws that are beyond our individual will or desire, if you like beyond our pay grade.
In other words we might want something to happen a certain way but we simultaneously understand and accept that our desire in that moment may not be in the grand way of things, the bigger picture so to speak, so we let go of the outcome, we surrender to what is…..again not an easy process, but there it is nonetheless.
The main reason its a difficult one for the intellect to process, understand is described very well indeed in the opening of the Bhagavad Gita, which says ‘The Great Way’ is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised . Make the smallest distinction however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.
We have individual and collective belief systems on what makes us happy and what makes us sad depending on what is happening in our lives at any given moment.
These beliefs are deeply ingrained in our psyche within the framework of our humanity, however there are laws at play woven in the tapestry of the cosmos, that our soul knows well that must be fulfilled…call it karma, destiny. We simply have no control over the final outcome of anything.
The creative process of the universe will unfold in whatever direction, in whatever way it needs to unfold in its support of the Mysterium Magnum.
There is a clue here to our work on ourselves in any given lifetime and of what our work might be and that is this. Any thought, word or deed that is not rooted in the soil of love…flowers NOT in the end, flowers NOT.
