It all works out in the end


I'm writing this now because I am worried. We all are, at some point.

We understand intellectually that worry gets us nowhere. The outcome is usually not in our hands, it's karma and so on and so forth.

It is difficult to leave things on faith. Esp when you can do something about it. The question is should you?

There goes a story of a hungry lion who prayed & prayed to God. In the evening, God finally answered him and asked - I made you a lion, gave you intelligence, equipped you with claws, why then are you still hungry? It is your Dharma to hunt!

The Bhagwad Gita quotes Sri Krishna:
कर्मणये वाधिकारस्ते मां फलेषु कदाचन ।
मां कर्मफलहेतुर्भू: मांते संङगोस्त्वकर्मणि।।

Do what is needed, with dispassion (unattached to the outcome)

So when the greatest scripture ever written also gives such good advice, can we accept it and make life simple?

It all works out in the end.
