In Bhagvad Gita, an ancient text in India that millions of people use an an ultimate guide to become one with spirit, it is said that the seed of whatever happens is in our consciousness.Because of this we keep attracting the same types of events and people around us. This causes us to do action and then go through the results, on which we have no control.True, we have no control on the results, but I think we have control on identifying the seed of the consciousness by looking at the patterns in our life. For example, in my job, I am always put at some remote site away from my people. The good part is, I get time to meditate and stuff. The bad part if I miss having lunch and tea with my colleagues in the main campus. But the best part is, once I become aware of this pattern I can choose to change it (by telling my boss about changing my role to main campus) or enjoy it (by meditating).So I get more freedom on what I want to do.There are several other patterns in my life other than being left alone. I am very often faced with a situation where I am required to stand for myself. I have to believe in myself and fight the world (not in a violent way though). So the goal of our life is to identify these patterns and become free from them, I guess :-)
