Does one lead thru Life by Choice or Fate ????

Arre baba , heavy duty question & one thats at constant play. Everyone goes through this dialogue at some time or the other . And even I decided to start a conversation , with myself. Which also spreads, to a few friends & family, who had their own views.


Every perspective, depends on an individual's, Knowledge, Experience & Wisdom. Ahhh ... Three , the auspicious number. Manifestation of the universe , Energy, Nature & Rhythm. Trinity , the order of the universe, Brahma (Creator) , Vishnu (Preserver) , Mahesh ( Destroyer). The three phases of Life, the three paths to Self Realisation, the three qualities of the Human Nature, the three types of Breath, the three division of Time & Day, the three mystic symbol of AUM, the three aspect of Human (mind, body, intellect). The three layers of Nature. Shiva's Third eye, when that opens, it shall Destroy Ignorance & seep u with Knowledge. And, my Birth number is also 3 !!! J


The halcyon number, which in a sense is the essence of an energy, that guides us.


This make me wonder, if every aspect that navigates is in a set of three, then , there was something amiss in the question. Some thought process and the third component comes forth. Destiny. Now it's complete. Choice, Fate & Destiny.


One has Knowledge , however , its with the Awareness of your own Experience , that Wisdom will come forward. Only then the process is complete.


Similarly, Fate is the passage that links, Choice & Destiny. Fate throws Choices at us. Our choices forge our path to a destiny, a destination which we can only visualize , but can never be sure off.


From the number of Choices that we have, we shall pick & choose, depending on a situation, from our own calling & strength. Eventually left with one Choice , we shall take the plunge. Our Choice guides us to our Destiny.


Fate is Good Luck , when our choice works towards the goal we had envisioned. Else , it is Bad Luck, such is the general thought process of most of us , isnt it ?


In simple terms, when fate challenges us with choices, our selection determines the passage of a smooth or a turbulent Destiny( the Unkown).


Smooth passage, Luck is by your side. Turbulent, there is a lesson that life is teaching you , preparing you for the next set of Choices that Fate shall propel at us. The ability be to recognize the divinity, the blessing , the grace , which is your shield.


Its a pattern , a canvas .....where we see just fragments of pieces with the passage of time , the entire gambit is for us to just Envision , Dream ..... how Fate & Choices direct you towards that eventuality of your Destiny is something which no one can Comprehend.


At the end of it all, Destiny is an unchartered destination.
