Fate theory- Fake practice


Many times if we are believing in fate, feel that all the troubles and mishaps are because of the fate. Because of the bad deeds we have done in previous lives. We argue that all this low profile of our life is just because of the unfavourable planetary position in our horoscope or God's non challance. This is the case of the people, mostly from eastern side of the globe who strongly believe that every thing is done as per the fate written . They treat them as just a puppet in the cosmic show. This is true to a great extent but some conditions apply. When some thing great happens because of our effort, then we surely forget the above theory, and claim entire success to our wisdom, planning and meticulous approach and our talents so on and so forth. We just ignore that this may also be the result of fate and we have no significant role in this cosmic drama. One good example was cited by my Guru in this context. Once there was a farmer who used rear cows and sell the milk for his livelihood. He has many cattle which graze in the nearby pastures and also enter into some private fields now and then. Once few cows entered into the private farm of another landlord . When the landlord tried to drive away them with a stick, accidentally a cow received an unintended blow and died immidiately. No one will hit a cow so harshly, but some how it died because of some unknown reason. This landlord was in trouble. Because the farmer is a quarrelsome person and he may say anything and ask any compensation for this. So , slowly the landlord called the farmer. This is the dialogue between them: Farmer: "sir, why did you call me? why are you so gloomy? what is the reason?" Landlord:" oh my friend. today some thing bad has happend. In my farm, one cow has died when i was trying to drive it away from the farm.That is the reason for my sadness. I lost my mental peace with this event!" Farmer:"Dear sir, are you a fool? Who are you to kill an animal? everything happens as per the fate. You are only a puppet. The cow consumed its life span and so it died. You are not at all the reason or cause for its death. It is your foolish ness to worry without knowing the fate theory. You learn it from me. I believe in it very much." Land lord: :"Thank you friend. I gain peace of mind after talking to you. Anyway, the killed animal is not mine, but yours. I did not know how to convey this sad news to you" Farmer: "Oh, what did you do? you have caused a great damage to me. You killed my valuable cow. How can i live without it? Who are you to drive animals and kill them? what authority you have? I will now complain this to court and ask compensation." So, this way the life goes. When loss occurs to others, it is a fate. When it happens to us, we treat it differently. If we believe a theory, we should believe it fully and completely
