REPLY TO COMMENT ON the fork in the road

very true my friend, choices if not handled properly can become an incessant source of misery and in that situation not choosing seems to be the most beautiful and reliable option but remember that not choosing is also a choice, that is we have chosen "TO NOT TO CHOOSE" and if this choice is made without readiness (as defined in the blog on readiness previously) then again we have chosen only dilemma and misery for ourselves.
For example if we choose “TO NOT TO CHOOSE” and suddenly we get a call from a very good college to pursue a course of our liking, we will immediately start to critically analyze it and start to look for some missing link (something wrong, something fishy about it) and even if we join it we would never respect it, in fact we would always live in the delusion that “if I could get this much without any effort imagine where could have I been, had I put just a little effort” since it came to us without our so called efforts( the same thing happens in relationships when we take the other person for granted as our own belonging or right and then loose respect for them).{The topic of why we choose what we choose and why we are the way we are has been dealt with in the series labeled MENTAL SETUP}
It is only when "TO NOT TO CHOOSE" arises out of the knowledge of choices available, experience(and not just theoretical knowledge)of the cosmic intelligence working and shaping our own lives every moment and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for what IS (we shall be coming to it, a bit later though) that this choice of "TO NOT TO CHOOSE" becomes an ultimate flowering of our lives and leads us automatically to higher and higher possibilities and this is precisely what we are attempting by integrating ourselves. By integrating ourselves we are going through the process of intelligently (as defined in previous article) assessing our TRUE choices, choosing with a sense of RESPONSIBILITY and understanding the NECESSITY (as defined in previous article) of going through the entire process leading ourselves to that ultimate state (space) where ALL POSSIBILITIES are equated the same as NO POSSIBILITIES (a paradox as it may seem, but is a very much an experiential truth or reality, we shall come to it also, a bit later though)
