A young lady in her twenties called up. She shared that she was unable to get married and her mother is putting pressure on her. Either to find someone or atleast start Monday fasting. (In Hindus girls fast on Mondays to meet their soul mates). So she started as it was in her hand. She had already completed ten but she did not get any proposal too. Her family was becoming restless as they had heard that someone else’s daughter started the fast and as soon as she started, she got engaged. Might be, I cannot question that. But atleast have faith in whatever you are doing. When she completed her sixteen, she did get engaged to a very nice and established gentleman.
Similarly, a gentleman said that he wanted to earn millions and he kept working very hard. He started slipping into depression as he felt he was not earning. He said that he was told by an astrologer, he will make millions but it seems like he will never. So I told him, see when we are baking a cake, we know that it will take a certain time, so keep waiting as we know the time and we have no choice. We cannot eat half baked cake, even if we want.
But when we are asking for something in life, because we do not know how long it will take, we set our time limits as per someone else. But we never know their journey behind in this life and many other lives. People who have become young millionaires, may be they have travelled that journey already in many lives? So everyone is different and we need to wait patiently for our turn. But yes, you will get your turn.
It reminds me of an incidence. My 2 years old nephew asked his mom for pudding. She started making it for him. When he started smelling it, he said give it to me and she told him, it was not ready. He started shouting and screaming and said to the extent, you do not want to give it to me. I feel we all do same, when we ask for something.
Human Beings lack patience. they want everything then and there only. But the irony is, we have to wait for whatever we want. We want to eat cake now, but we have to wait for 2-3 hours for cake to get ready. We cannot eat half cooked cake. Would we like if the cake is half baked? Then we will not like to have something which is half ready. We want it whole, so we need to wait for it to get ready. A baby also takes nine months to come out. We have to wait for what we desire. Have faith and keep going.
