| The Mental Kaleidoscope (cont.) We are so used to controlling people and situations to obtain a particular result that we have forgotten how to use the power of faith. The Law of Faith says, 'Plant the right seeds, make the right effort, but also let things be.' Faith does not mean to be passive (inactive) but rather to have acted and thought about something and then have the patience and trust that the Drama of Life is also taking care of it; the outcome of any action is not just up to me. In the spiritual knowledge taught by the Brahma Kumaris, we often hear the term 'a faithful intellect is victorious'. As the Drama of Life turns, such an intellect works like a kaleidoscope and can perceive and see the often hidden, beautiful patterns in life’s situations that, in time, become visible and benevolent. Success, or victory, depends as much on doing the task with the right intention, as it does on allowing things to take their own course. Wisdom is an awareness of this balance. |

There is a clarification needed to avoid a possible misunderstanding in “Success, or victory, depends as much on doing the task with the right intention, as it does on allowing things to take their own course. Wisdom is an awareness of this balance”.[ Ref http://dailydivinethoughts.blogspot.in/ 5/5/12.] Success will depend on effort, intellect, faith. But in practice at times one does not meet full success in spite of having tried for considerable length of time. When we say “allow the things to take their own course” does not mean “stop effort and switch off intellect” as may be interpreted. My interpretation is to “continue the effort to the extent possible” as nothing new can be tried. But intellect is still on alert as some new idea may crop up, we never know. Feedback from the site mentioned is welcome.
