Destiny Vs Power of Protection: A true incident

The mystique of fate is baffling. It unfolds itself as a shocking revelation, an eye opener to myriad possibilities. As a human projection, we are a mere speck of cosmic dust in the infinite vastness of an ever expanding universe. It is easy to feel the insignificance of our journey, in context of cosmic time and space. We can often wonder how it works. Does the creation continue to individually focus on its projected experiment, the human journey.

As a teenager, i had contemplated over an observation made by Osho Rajneesh – Don’t seek God. It is relevant only in godliness’. It intrigued me for days as i sat up to wonder if creative intelligence ever cared about our prayers and offerings as ‘fate’ is assumed to be pre-scripted soul arrangement.

The explosion of self-realization brought me to deeper knowing that we had to extract the awareness of every experience, until the experiences exhausted itself of learning of pain and suffering. Awareness is a choice as much as ignorance. Hence our life is punctuated with choices we make that can influence our genetics, environment and culturing.  Progressive events can take shape from our dynamic actions towards clarity, liberation and remembrance of our truest state of being. We often call this miracle. This is life in flow of higher frequency.

The revelation through real-life events: 
My brother Deepak and his family had come over to Kevala Foundation in May this year. After a joyful 3 day of togetherness they were homeward bound. They had hardly moved about 200 meters in their car, when a bee that entered into the car distracted my brother from the steering wheel. The wheel swerved to the left viciously and the car slid into a storm water trench. The car stood slanting precariously on the edge of the road. Thankfully, no was hurt, as they all alighted safely. I received a call from my sister-in-law about the situation. Within minutes, i reached to the spot with staff of kevala. Five of us couldn’t move the car back on road. I could feel everything around me in a warped sense of time, as if time had slowed down and the incident didn’t appear as any challenge. The car looked undamaged, only that it needed a powerful push to get on track. As we waited for help, we saw a bunch of coffee estate workers walking past. Our staff called out to them in a sense of urgency. One of them seemed to be in clarity of how to sort the situation. He went into the car and managed the steering, while all of us gave one big heave, it was technical push, any error could have damaged the sides of the car. The lift and push did the trick. The car engine roared into life and all the four tyres rolled out on the road again. There was a deep sense of relief for all present there. These simpleton village blokes Most importantly, the car was fine and good enough to drive for the long journey to city of Bangalore, and also for the fact that help had arrived so quickly.

Event 2: Intuitively guided real-life situation:
I was driving back to kevala, straight after seeing off my brother safely. A strange thought occurred to me. The inner voice was warning me of a similar event that will occur to me. I cautioned myself as i watched for any sort of danger along the way.  There was no vehicle traffic on the road back to kevala site, and i had almost reached a 100 meter from the gate.  I saw an four wheeler “jeep” towing a huge trolley, approaching from opposite direction. The narrow road would not have allowed two vehicles to pass at the same time. So i reversed my car to a broader side of the road. As I was backing up, my left rear tyre slid into a storm water trench. When I tried to maneuver out of the trench, the front wheels sunk in further.

The car was soon stuck much deeper than we had thought so.  I wondered, how destiny had its tricky ways. As I jumped out the car, I saw two men on a motorbike, approaching our car. They smiled knowingly and scanned the car situation, which seemed familiar to them. They were coffee estate owners from nearby village. One of them seemed pretty confident of getting the car out without much fuss. He opened the car jack from the boot, and within a few minutes, the car that had bottomed into the trench, lifted up considerably. With a few stone padding and support, the wheels were in a good position for safe drive up the trench. As I ignited the engine and drove out the car, our new friend remarked “you are really lucky that the car’s oil tank nor chassis was damaged. it was just a matter of an inch further down”

I thanked him profusely in deep gratitude. Here was a complete stranger who had gone out of his way and helped us with deep enthusiasm, skill and intent.  He had offered his services without even we asking for it and it was rendered minus any expectations. Such is the way of divine intervention. The timely help in an unexpected and prompt way reinstates that humanness is still alive in this dark age, where bad news is more rampant than an act of genuine compassion.

These twin incidents which seemed so similar in nature. It unraveled in a span of an hour, and ushered me into a state of deep contemplation. It became apparent that we were given an demonstration of protection. Divine works through its pipelines, which are humans. It also became more evident, that we are not in control of events. It happens and we can only witness the effect of it.

Despite having a clear premonition, I could not avoid the incident. Absorbed in awareness and caution allowed me to experience the wheels of destiny in its play.  It demonstrated the power of destiny and also the power of a protective armor that revealed itself at the time of need.

We often prepare our protective armour in the sadhana of Himalayan Kriya Yoga. It is called ‘Vajra Kavacha’ (Diamond Armour). However whatever we do to protect ourselves in methods or technique, we are still weak in our state to face the wrath of elemental forces. If there is an unseen universal conspiracy to keep us alive and protected, one can experience a miraculous escape from any fatal accidents.
