Life is paradoxical. We have high intense activity at one end and complete calm on the other. At times it seems distressing, at times joyful. Some phases are utterly chaotic while others are orderly. We love some people the most in our life, while we hate others to the hilt. We fast and abstain from certain food and activities on some occasions and indulge in them on other days. We are charitable and forgiving on some days, but stingy and punitive on other days. Our moods swing haywire. Our response to similar situations varies with times. We are unpredictable in our conduct. We are both open and secretive.
Spirituality fixes this dilemma. It helps us to realize that while human instincts and universe remain polarized between opposing forces, one can sustain blissful living through right balance. Daily interventions help. The very thought of accepting that what we cannot change is solacing. Attempt to change what we can for the larger good, without clinging to desire for fruitful outcome, is uplifting. Thus emerges the phenomenon of coexistence of unchangeable and changeable. God has blessed us with discretion to differentiate between the two and accept and act accordingly. Our actions thus should remain Insulated from agitation and desire. If only we do what we should, with such sense of detachment, our journey in life is peaceful.
