PUPPET OR THE MASTER? CHOICE IS YOURS.

Please know that, you can exist here either, as a puppet or as the master. That is the choice, you have. This choice alone, sets you apart, from rest of the creation. For the reason, that you can choose, you can exercise your discretion to choose, you stand on the heap of the creation, because this capability to choose, makes it possible for you, to realise the possibility i.e. to go beyond this bodily existence and exist here, beyond the limitations of the physical, which other creatures can’t.   

The glory of being human, the glory of being in this human form, lies in this possibility only and because of this possibility alone, this human form is considered very significant, because only in this human form, you can realise this possibility, to go beyond the bondage i.e. beyond the physical or bodily existence, which is not possible in other physical forms. 

Now, existing here, as a puppet means, you exist here, as a puppet in the hands of your destiny. Destiny is nothing but a certain amount of memory, which we commonly know, as karma and is given to us, at the time of birth itself, which we are supposed to expend, while being in this body. Memory or karma or destiny, means, something which is predestined or pre-set, to unfold in a fixed way. Animals exist here, as puppets in the hands of their pre-written destiny, which nature gives to them. They have no choice or capability to deviate from the given destiny. A dog, for example, lives here, as a dog and dies as a dog. A dog can’t become, more or less, than that because a dog doesn’t have the capability to choose or be other, than the given destiny. A dog can’t deviate from the preset course, of his karma or memory. 

However, this is not the case with a human being. A human being, too, is given destiny or memory or karma, at the time of his birth which, is designed to move in a certain direction. This destiny, in fact, is made to work, in such a way, that it makes you, to exist here, as a physical or as a body, like other animals, because nature wants to perpetuate creation. So, if you just move, as per the course, set by the destiny, then you will exist here, as a body and for the body only. Destiny means survival and protection of the body, because memory means to work for the survival and protection of the body only. 

So, existing here, as per the course of destiny, is to exist here, as a puppet in the hands of your destiny. Your destiny will be your master, because your destiny will rule you and decide the course of your life. Existing here, as a puppet in the hands of your destiny, is a waste of this human form, because, this human form gives you the capability to choose. If, you exercise this capability to choose i.e. go by the conscious choice, instead of going by your memory or destiny, then you can choose to be different than what your destiny wants you to be. For example, in this moment, you can choose to be in the way, you want to be and not what your destiny wants. So, if your destiny wants you to be angry in this moment but if you become conscious, then, you can choose not to be angry but you can, instead, choose to be peaceful in this moment and thus go beyond what the destiny decides or what the nature wants. 

Being conscious i.e. exercising this ability to choose, can make you realise the possibility of going beyond what nature wants you. Existing here, as the master of your destiny, means, you can break the very law of the nature -Vidhi ke vidhan ko badlaana hai. Becoming the master of your destiny means, you don’t exist here, as per the course, set by the nature i.e. as a physical but you choose to go beyond the law of the nature. You don’t exist here, as a body but beyond this body. You thus go beyond, the very course set by the nature. 

Existing here in awareness, in consciousness and doing what’s needed, in this moment, in the light of that awareness, is what going beyond destiny or existing here, as the master of your destiny is. But a puppet means, you just do, habitually, all the time. You exist here, as a compulsive doer i.e. you do, all the time, because you only know the physical but existing here, as the master of your destiny, means, doing only, when needed i.e. all your doings, are by your conscious choice only, because you know, that you are not this physical body but consciousness or awareness i.e. beyond the physical. 

Enlightenment is nothing but vidhi ke vidhan ko badlaana hai, which is going beyond your destiny and hence, going beyond physical or bodily existence because destiny is of the body and for the body only. Hence, the choice is yours – to exist here as a physical or nonphysical, as a body or the divine? Spirituality is a journey from existing here, as a puppet of your destiny, to becoming the master of your destiny. Meditation is a technology which helps you become the master of your destiny.
