POSSITIVE AIDS TO PEACE OF MIND.10.

[Guest guest]

10. Never Regret.

 

If you fight shy of obstacles, then you can do nothing worthwhile in life. You

can at best vegetate, but that is not living. Living, to be true, must be

purposeful. You must have goals to reach, ideals to strive for. And goals cannot

be reached without encountering opposition. Such opposition should not upset

your peace of mind, but should strengthen your will to fight the battle of life

heroically. It will be possible if you learn to accept these opposing forces as

an inevitable part of phenomenal life, as unavoidable evil.

Never regret. Learn the lessons from your past experiences. Remember the

lessons. Let the lessons guide your future actions. But do not brood over the

past. Do no regret " If I had done that, I would have become this... If only I

had. " —it is all futile thinking, waste of time and energy. Because, worry

depletes energy. Does nothing more. The fact is whatever happened was destined

to happen only that way. It could not have happened in any other way.

Everything, from the tiniest movement of a particle of the mightiest

disturbances in the universe, everything in the past, present and future, every

cause and every effect, has been ordained in certain way by the omnipresent,

omniscient and omnipotent Will of God. Things happen as they are destined to

happen. Whatever will be, will be. No man has the power to alter the course of

God’s Will. ‘Karthavyamanubhokthavyam’ is eternally true, universally

true. To regret, to brood is to show your cowardice in the face of the

inevitability of events and to disturb your peace of mind for nothing. Wisdom

lies in seeing the working of God’s Will in every happening and remaining at

peace with your self and the world.
