Chapter 1
Freewill or Fate?
Introduction
Most of us believe that God exists somewhere up there, in his abode in the heavens. This gives rise to a longing, a yearning, in us to feel closer to Him. God lives within each one of us, in our very breath. This has been advocated by great Maharishis like Ramanar.
How do we understand the God within us? How do we live in harmony with the God within us? In a family, all the members live happily, in harmony with each other, when they understand each other better. Just as we try to understand and live in harmony with our family members, so also we should make an effort to do so with the universal energy within us.
To live a happy and successful life, we need to understand, accept and comply with the universal laws, the 16 golden laws. It will become evident to us that we can live a complete and happy life if we abide by these golden laws.
To understand the golden laws, we need to first be genuinely eager to be acquainted with them. There are many things in this world that we do not know, that we do not understand. When we try to understand new things in life, our existing views, opinions and perspectives of the world will change. Sometimes we fear and hesitate to even voice our opinion. Our opinion with regard to an issue changes with maturity and age. Hence our decisions, which are based on our opinions, are also affected. Sometimes we make decisions and make them known to all. After much thought, we may change our opinion and then our decision seems wrong to us but we hesitate, sometimes fear, admitting this to others. We need great courage to admit what we feel is right. Only then can we grow in life.
Just as a coin has two sides, we may change our opinion. When we make an effort to make others understand why we have changed our views, everyone benefits, everyone’s knowledge can broaden. For instance, your teacher at school was irritable and often scolded you. You may have thought then, How harsh he is! How he tortures me by being so strict!
You may have passed bitter comments about him, you may have given him nicknames. Many years after school, having passed out of college and being employed, you may visit your school with memories of your past. The same teacher would now proudly introduce his ‘old student’ to one and all at school. You now see your teacher’s other side and realise that you are what you are today thanks to the discipline and honesty that he had inculcated in you when you were young. Only when our baseless opinions change, can we make progress in life.
Why should I be aware of the golden laws?
You need to master your mind, control your mind. You are the boss, having total control over your mind. You need to always be aware of your thoughts. You need to think the right thoughts that are conducive to your growth. Man’s problems exist in his mind. Hence there is a solution for all his problems - the golden laws. When man understands that the cause of all his problems lies within him and when he understands and abides by the golden laws, he will realise that the solution also lies within him.
What you see is what you believe!
In this world, there are good things as well as unpleasant things happening all around us. Reading, hearing and seeing only the unpleasant things that happen, which the media focuses on so much, we should not assume that there is no goodness in this world. The media prefers to focus on burglary, murders, theft, rape, cheating, bomb blasts and violence. Whether it is the morning papers, the television, news bulletins or public awareness programs on television and other media, the focus is on the unpleasant happenings under the garb of reality. The young, with only the nasty facts of life registered in their young minds and having preconceived views about this world, are led to believe that the world is an evil place, this is how the world is today, this is how the world will be tomorrow, that this is man’s fate.
Why do you notice the black dot on a white sheet?
We can change anything in this world. To begin with, we can avoid reading the newspaper or watching or listening to the news, first thing in the morning. We can train our mind and eyes to register only the news we need to know. For instance, as to when there is a power shutdown in our neighbourhood, change in traffic regulations, prices of essential commodities and the news we need to be acquainted with for a smooth daily life. We need to know the other facts only to the extent that it is essential for us, to enable us to take due precautions. Gory details of an incident are definitely not required. It is not going to make a difference except to kill your hope in life and make you feel depressed and low.
When you make a constant effort to look for goodness in the world, you will begin to see the world in a different light; the world will turn out to be good to you. Your belief and faith can be fashioned to help build a better world. And that is what this book is all about. This does not mean that you should see the world with a new coloured glass. Remove the glass, coloured by all your preconceived views about this world, and see the light of goodness.
When we focus on only the unpleasant happenings in this world, we will perceive this world as corrupt and evil. We should search for goodness in this world, wherever it happens. We should share this with others so that the awareness of the goodness that exists in this world spreads. As we keep focusing on the good things happening around us, write more about it, talk more about it, read more about it; what we focus on increases in reality.
We should ensure that we have good thoughts about ourselves and others in this world. It’s only when we travel through life with such good thoughts that we truly benefit from them. We will face favourable circumstances and opportunities. This is the basic lesson that you will be learning from these golden laws.
Everything is predestined
– is simply an
excuse for giving up
You doubt whether you have the power to control your life, whether you can fulfil your life’s desires. If man can achieve all his wishes and desires, then why is there so much suffering in life? Why are there so many living below the poverty line? Why are there broken families? Why do millions of people suffer from diseases?
Your life is based on the opportunities and circumstances that you encounter. You feel you have absolutely no control over these situations in your life and that everything happens based on predestined fate. So you are not willing to take responsibility to face the situations in your life. Nor do you believe it is possible for you to face the situations and resolve it. When you face unfavourable circumstances or problems, you easily lose hope and get
