Well it is a question a good question to ponder on, is it I or God? To foresee what the question has to offer, let us dive into it and find out!
It is in us; us human beings are like this. We like to take credit for the things that turn out good and give away the ones to others when something doesn’t go as planned or turns ugly. And most of the times, we blame God. We blame Him whenever something bad happens, we throw Him under the bus and try to escape from our own selves, trying to make it a fact that it is all His plan or His game. And we do this only to make ourselves feel good that yeah it was not our fault, we were right but God had other plans for us so what can we do about it.
You know, I mean you must know that whenever we are going through a rough phase in our lives we ask only one question, “Why me?” and we do that so much that it has become our habit to blame or even ask even at minor inconveniences. Just like us today, there was one person in the Dwapara Yuga who asked this question to God himself, yeah, Karna asked Krishna the same question of ‘Why me?’ if we start looking at the conversation, we see that Karna is complaining to Krishna about his unfair life and in order to explain to Karna, Krishna does the same. We have all the rights to complain about our lives, but once we are done with complaining we should be ready be open for ways to get rid of it. I believe that we should ask questions only when we are ready to look for the answers for it. To every Why there exists an answer, and sometimes the answer falls into our laps and sometimes we have to hunt it down.
Kunti, the mother of pancha pandavas had asked God to fill her life with only hardships and struggles. And when Krishna questioned her, she said to Him that, only when there are struggles we people remember you and I want to think of you all the time, and so I want only misery in my life.
I did not the something slightly different, I decided and made a vow to myself, that whatever happens, be it good or bad, ugly or glorious it will all be mine alone to take care of, and God will have nothing to do with it, and luckily, I have been able to maintain that even now. You know, while practicing this, I realized that, once you take everything in your hands, you seem to worry a little less about the outcomes as you are most of the times already aware and prepared for it. My intention in this was not not to think of God instead it was not to blame Him at my own convenience.
Thus I would like to conclude by saying that we shouldn’t blame someone else or even God at our convenience. Let us ourselves be the cause for the good-bad and everything that comes in between.
