All that we encounter or experience in life, is our own making. We never realise the results of each thought, each action. Everything looks really good and seems our own making, as long as experiences are sweet and our surroundings are filled with comfort and luxury.
When tested, troubled & in difficulty, it is hard to digest or even see what has brought the agony/discomfort. Even a simple thought or deed, too far to imagine, although semmed right/good long back, hits it when we never imagine it will. Nothing should be attended care-free. Not all that we think is good, for us or for the people around, will bare fruit or do good.
Each step is a making for the new beginning to come. The past is not just to learn, but to realise how deeds, good or bad, will turn into things of various forms and shapes. The present is to be executed always with caution & with full consiousness. The future is a consequence only. To be mindful of each thought, word or action, however rightous or good we may think it to be, is the right way to take charge. We are our own friend, or our own foe in this sense.
उद्धरेदात्मनाऽऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्।
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः।
