Graceful Acceptance...

Normally, positive thinking is to expect the best out of every moment in the future. While this may be true, is not accepting that whatever comes out of each moment will be the very best also positive thinking? - a graceful acceptance trusting that there is fairness in all situations, even though some events appear to be unfair from our limited perspective and short-sighted vision. This needs Bhakti - a trust in Isvara, an order which governs everything in creation. An unwavering faith (Shraddha) that this creation has come out of a wholeness, a benevolence, and there is no scope for any like/dislike in the ordainer (Isvara). If our observation does not seem to concur with this, we should be willing to give it up and accept the above declaration of all scriptures. Our evaluation of what we perceive is based on our preconceived notions determined by our limited knowledge causing us to feel bound. Nothing ever happens without a reason, without a cause. Nobody causes situations to happen...
