As well as accepting our current situation is as per our destiny, we can also start praying to God to forgive us and bless us to practically solve our problems too. So start doing simran and make efforts to solve our problems instead of feeling helpless and giving up which only leads to despair.
Ik onkar sat Naam Sat gur parsaad.
Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam ji
Once baba ji maharaj and pritam anand ji were singing "Jivay Jivay likhiaa, tivay tivay hovana. Maya maya karda, sada hee rovana." Meaning, "as was written so it happens. Chasing maya you will always be crying."
Look at your own life at times when you have been crying about something that didn't happen as you wanted. Maybe you didn't get they job or partner you wanted, maybe you didn't get a child or a boy. Maybe your kids didn't turn out how you wanted. Maybe you suffered loss of family or financially. This is all crying caused by wanting maya but not getting what we wanted. Then followed by frustrations of not being able to still get what we want. What a turmoil we have created inside ourself. Baba ji says that the mind has fooled us with its logic and wants.
So many people have emailed us and dassan dass ji over the years in turmoil and dassan dass ji always explains with compassion, "stop fighting with your situation and start doing Satnaam. When Satnaam goes into your heart only then will your destiny change. Otherwise we are only reaping what was written for us."
Baba ji says what was written for us, our destiny, was written by our own past deeds to be reaped now. So if we didn't give donations in the past then not much money is going to come us now. But not understanding that we look at others and in maya our mind also wants what others have. Mind is a copy cat. Then we cry when our business failed or job went, and the opposite happened to what we dreamed.
We all may want our close ones to have long lives, but if only a few breaths were written for them, then if we keep crying for our loss, it's because we didn't accept what was written. Nor can we bring them back. So we get trapped in the net of maya - sadness, sorrow and death. Better we stop listening to our mind logic, stop crying for maya and start accepting whatever happened was as it was written for us . Instead of blaming God for our loss of maya and our pain, blame our ego and desires, "I wants", that is the root of all suffering.
Only with God's grace we get this understanding, we are able to accept whatever happens, and keep our mind absorbed in God's name, Satnaam. In Satnaam our mind becomes supported and never collapses into sadness, sorrow and death. But in maya our mind wil always be crying.
