Is it humanly possible to expect nothing out of life. What is expecting? We not only do not know how to expect nothing but all we do is to expect everything. We feel because we have done our bit, the rest should come in a platter.
Well only one thing comes to my mind..... As you Sow so shall you reap.
U shall reap all the results of your actions and these are governed by your karma.
If you did not get your engineering seat - that your karma of not studying, If you did not ace your exams, it is of your karma of not listening in your class. If you did not get your promotion, it is because of your karma of not sincerely working for the company.
That My friends is Karma. Of what u did or what you failed to do.
In above cases, Good karma is to be Studious, attentive in class, and working sincerely. These can be governed primarily by following a disciplined approach to life. Fall not prey to petty things, and petty joy, but constantly remaining in focus of our Life's Goal.
Discipline in Thought & Action will eventually produce good results.
Even as you read, one question may arise in your mind. What do I get by leading a disciplined life.
Again I come to the topic I started with.... what is 'get' in the above question but an expectation of life.
Life is not an equation you live but an experience that you live through.
Forget the GET. Forget what you want life to give to you. If life gives you something, take it happily. Rejoice that you have got what life gave to you. There are many of us who are not able to take what life offers you. But leave what life offers at you in search of 'expected' results.
If a girl is not married by the age of 25 or so, immediately her parents start running from temple to temple. To propitiate the Gods.
It is probably destined that she leads such a life till a particular time. Probably she is not prepared to face the married life. Probably she is destined to meet a better match who would be more appropriate. One cannot hold grudges with life. Whats happening is not puppetry, but a dama.
I can draw many allusions to the statement - that
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."
The whole life is but a drama
1. It is not real
2. Still you have to play your part
3. You get booed if u dont play it with your heart and soul
4. You get applauses for good performance - eventhough you cried most of the time
5. You get applauded - even if you played a stupid donkey
6. You are not here permanently - you have your exit
7. If you clown around - you may get applauded but remember what they talk behind you
8. Nobody is bothered what happens to you afterwards - Most of the People who applauded forgot you so did most of the people who booed you.
9. If you were the audience you will be on stage someday
10. After watching the drama you still return to playing your own drama
Life is not a great puppet show where god plays with all life as puppets and controls every action of every life. If we think so - it is because it is naive. He has done nothing personal to you and has no vengeance with any life form. Get Real - Life doesn't revolve around you. Its free will.
Imaging you take a bucket of water and you pour it on ground, it will flow and rush to the lowest point of gradient - because it is its nature. All inanimate objects tend to move to a static end. All life tend to follow the universal Law of self preservation.
All God has done is given us a good environment and free will and is seeing us all evolve.
Nothing that we do is above the universal truths that hold good for like - Survival of the Fittest, Fight or flight. etc. etc.
As a result, what does each animal expect out of life, and why should we be any different.
Yes! I can understand the conflict that arises that - Why should we be like animals. We are ofcourse more evolved and we have more intelligence.
I do agree that we are different from the animals, but we have to answer the question 'how different are we'.
