Obstacle is not the end of the road, but light beamed from perfection.

शमथ। Samatha

“I finally had it all laid out perfectly only to slip at the last moment. Why does it happen to me
always?” When such situations can break even the easygoing ones, it is not hard to imagine
what happens to the weak-willed. However such situations occur more often than you become
aware of in your life. It pass over as an ordinary event when you do not become aware of its
occurrence.

Obstacles, when you become aware of those, happens for a reason; your well laid out plan was
not so great after all, despite you thinking so or others singing out to you “How great thou art!”
You see your life as a straight line, but it is not. You think that the success rate of your laid out
plan serves the purpose of your life. But you forget that your vision is imperfect and you are
larger than who you have perceived yourself to be. There is no better way to wake you up when
you refuse to wake up than to shake you up a bit.

Be ready to correct your sight than stubbornly repeating the ‘obstacle destroyed my life’ story.
Even the slightest readiness is rewarded by lightheartedness. It opens up the clogged pathways
in your brain. The more you are willing to acknowledge and not go back to your old thinking,
those pathways will be flooded by the light that leads you to a vision that you could have never
imagined.

Do not pass up a chance to cakewalk to choose the impossible just because you cannot see or
think clearly. Life is not for you to feel important, but for the picture to be perfect, and you do not
have to struggle to be where you are.

Feel Blessed
