Hello Everyone,
Happy New Year and may this year be the best year till date!!
After a long hiatus – I am back and would like to start with a parable to reinforce – the age old saying “Everything good or bad that happens; Happens for the best”!!
Always be positive even in the darkest hour when you are down and torn and no one to rely on – the universe is opening new doors and shutting the irrelevant ones. Nature has its own way of doing things, we need to be open and trust this universal process!
Shree Ramakrishna Paramhamsa story – Everything happens for the best!!
Once there was an arrogant King who always thought only good should happen to him. One fine day the King raises his questions to all the wise people in his court on – why we say whatever happens; happens for the best, and if bad happens; how we prove its’ for the best.
One of the King’s wise and intelligent minister comes up with an idea to take the King for hunting to discuss this further. So, the King and minister set out into the jungle for hunting. When passing through the jungle and talking, the King’s hand brushes hard against a tree and he falls thud on the ground, this hurts his small finger and starts bleeding. The King is in anguish and blasphemies his minister for this idea. The minister does not get upset but says – “don’t worry Maharaj this is for the best”; the King gets furious on his minister and pushes him into a deep well, where they go to drink water.
After this incident – the hurt King quickly starts to return alone from the jungle to the palace as it was getting dark when suddenly the Adivasi or tribal community attack him/ tie him up and take him for sacrifice to their Supreme Goddess. Now, as soon as the tribal gets ready for the sacrifice, they see the bleeding small finger and stop as you can’t sacrifice someone who is been hurt or cut already. This is how the King’s life is saved. The king realizes his mistake and immediately goes to the deep well to rescue the minister. Once the minister is out – the king apologized to the minister on his actions and accepts the verdict “that all happens for the best even if it’s the worst scenarios in the beginning; there is always a silver lining in the end.
Please forgive me said the King – I treated you badly, the Minister smiled and said Maharaj – thank you for pushing me into the well else if I would have accompanied you the tribal would have sacrificed me instead because I was not hurt, so your pushing me into a well saved my life. The Maharaj was amazed by the wisdom of the minister and his positivity of taking harsh things in life in a positive way and rewarded him handsomely.
Moral of the story: in life struggles / bad phases/ bad treatment by others/ personal loss anything that puts you down is actually helping you come up in a different color it’s just the attitude and perception that pulls you through the ashes, your strong inner soul will never let you be bogged down but will bounce back and then you will see how you fly beautifully like a butterfly!!!
Keep smiling – Molly 🙂

This is something I strongly believe in! I believe that everything happens for a reason and that sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. I’ve absolutely loved reading this blog, Mallika. Keep it coming 😘
Thanks Suvi for your kind words..yes we know it better ! thanks for your encouragement!!

Lovely post Molly .. how I wish everyone realized this universal logic or process … unfortunately we humans have evolved in a way that we feel anguish , ego , depression , sadness etc on most of things that happen to us because of the greed we have or the expectations we have .. we have forgotten about humanity even.
Thanks for putting up this post and starting a new year with so much positivity … 👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻🤗
