Everything is planned!


‘Everything is planned out’ I have heard this term a million times and equally millions times ‘It didn’t go as per the plan’.

Human beings are the only species on this planet earth who actually ‘Plan’ their life.  Why is it that only we require planning while the rest of the creatures happen to just live accidently?

And the funniest part is, whether we plan or not, Life always takes over. Humans and other animals eventually have similar proportions of populations either failing (dying early) or becoming successful (whatever that might be in animal kingdom). Nonetheless we are determined to plan every step of the way.

Right from our careers, marriage options, baby timings, holidays in the coming years, retirement plans, alternative career plans after few years and even to the smallest details of what to wear and what to eat on the daily basis. The weekend plans, the yearly plans, birthday plans, long terms goal plans, short term actions plans ….and it goes on and on….

Do we feel happier when things go as per our plan or when our plan fails and something even better unfolds? Most humans would feel sad and even catastrophically depressed, when some of their plans fail. There are people, whose marriages have failed only to find a  better partner, Jobs were lost only to find a new career, even a death of loved one has given new ways of living for some!

We can only plan what we have seen the world doing and achieving around us. We can only dream as high as the collective benchmarks of human achievements. But what if, we have the capacity to achieve something beyond our capacity to dream/plan? What if, we are actually a part of even greater planning which we have failed to sense? That greater plan is nothing but Life itself!

They say ‘Life happens when you are busy making plans’.

Have you ever noticed, that when your plans do not align with this greater plan of life, your plan keeps failing and life keeps pushing you towards the direction you are supposed to go?

Have you felt, that you feel illogical inclinations and pulls towards certain type of work or hobbies, no matter what your plan says?

Have you noticed that sometimes your life keeps creating the same kind of situations over and over again and you start wondering, whether you are in a matrix?

If you have noticed any of the above, know that you are sensing a greater plan. The Plan that is fool proof, unbreakable, without a doubt the only plan for which your existence is justified on this planet.

Although Human beings plan their materialistic plans as per the learned standards of society and their mind programming over the years, the only plan that can ever be truly successful is the greater plan of life. And going by this plan means, letting go of your control!

Sounds very unintelligent, pushover, lazy, not a ‘Go-getter’ attitude! On the contrary , it is highest form of intelligence in sensing this greater plan, it is the highest form of courage in letting go of your mind control, it is the highest form of happiness when things grander than your plan start unfolding and it is the highest form of love in allowing the love of universe flow through you!

I saw a little ant crawling by me the other day. I wondered what could be the plan of her life? Her life could end in a moment if I happen to put my foot on her. What was the purpose of her life then?

I shivered as I suddenly realised what her plan was. Invoking these thoughts in me was one of the greater plans of her life. As she allowed the universe to guide her, she crawled by me fearlessly, knowing that the greater plan will do its work, I would feel the love she exuded and she would be safe. She is now off on to her next mission of life!

Wake up call!

Its Sunday morning 6 AM in January. I am wide awake to the dark cold morning. Yes, the sun has still not risen and the coldness, well let’s say it is not restricted just to my body. The Jet lag has played its part. Despite of putting my head under the pillow number of times, I have finally woken up as my body clock made me think it’s time to be up. Well, you can’t blame it. It must already be noon time in India, when the world has still not woken up back here in the UK. We arrived yesterday from India, with our over excess baggage full of homemade food, shopping and numerous little things forced on us on the name of love by our parents which could hardly be termed as necessities for living. This happens every year. We swear not to exceed the baggage weight and end up debating either with parents back home or in the airport with the check-in assistant. I can’t fathom what I am missing at the moment? Is it the bright warm sun shining down on my face or the buzz of the radio,

    Finally I gave up. I gave up the suffocating inertia, that was imprisoning me in my own mind and stepped out of the office in the freezing cold. It was my lunch time break. ‘I have only few minutes, I will take a quick walk and come back’, I promised myself.   The cold slowly engulfed me into its blanket.   Cold has a unique crisp freshness about it that alerts your mind to its full vigour.   In few steps, my body gave its first sign of protest by a quick shiver. I never knew that the tip of my nose was such an important part in my body. Not only I was prominently aware of its coldness but it started running in no time. I continued. I had to today. In few steps, I entered one of the densest woods near my office.   I was welcomed by the thorny bushes first and then a range of growing tall trees. It all seemed like a standstill portrait. Not a single leaf on any of them. Standing in perfect silence, unaware of the world of humans. But for some reason,

It's time to learn from my baby!

Its two’o clock in the midnight and I am sitting on my bed wide awake, milk bottle in one hand and a nappy in other. Looking at my baby sleeping peacefully on my lap, his breathing even and deep, I am now assured he is in his deep sleep. I seem to have achieved a momentary break in my relentless night schedule. Limited sleep with unexpected alarms has now propelled me into a highly alert state of mind. You might even say that I am ‘Awakened’. And then a thought crosses my mind. What is really motherhood? Is it about changing nappies on time? Or about feeding the baby enough or making him sleep with your impromptu lullabies? I am sure it is something to do with teaching him the good manners or making him study the best possible courses to ascertain his future.   Or May be not. It has got to be all that plus a lot more. After all, it is the most highly regarded job in the world!   Motherhood….the word   suggests an array of millions of passionate feelings and the force that come
