Chanakya on FATE

*पत्रं नैव करीरविटपे दोषो वसन्तस्य किम्*
*नोलूकोप्यवलोकतॆ यदि दिवा सूर्यस्य किं दूषणम्।*
*वर्षे नैव पतन्ति चातकमुखे मेघस्य किं दूषणम् *
* यत्पूर्वं विधिना ललाटलिखितं तन्मार्जितुं कःक्षमः।।*

*chanakya neethi*

*pathram naiva kareeravitapey dosho vasanthasya kim*
*nolookopyavalokathey yadhi divaa sooryasya kim dooshanam *
*varsham naiva pathanthi chathakamukhey meghasya kim dooshanam*
*yatpoorvam vidhinaa lalaatalikhitham tanmaarjithum kah kshamah*


*With the arrival of spring season all trees are covered by foliage but the
bamboo tree gets no leaves, is it the fault of Spring season?*
*When the sun rises, the owi is not able to see, is it the fault of the sun?
*
*A lot of clouds form and pour rain but all the rain does not fall into the
mouth of the chakora bird which is wailing for rainwater. It is definitely
not the fault of the rainclouds.*
*Whatever is written by the fate on the forehead of a being at its birth is
indelible. Who is having the capacity to erase that document?.*

*Chanakya is emphasizing the power of fate. It is our belief that ones
fate is already recorded indelibly on his forehead.. And this premeditated
enactment cannot be amended by any force in the world. The bamboo leaves
are sparse in spring, the owl is blind during the daytime and the
mythological chakora bird which is always looking up and wailing at the
clouds in the sky for rain to pour and is keeping its mouth open in
expectation that all the rain will fall into its open mouth is in for
disappointment. Only a few drops may fall on its open mouth that too by
chance. The crafty Brahmadeva had already recorded the fate of everyone on
the respective forehead (may be the record will be large if one has a bald
pate) and there is no way of cirumventing the dicta of fate. Elsewhere we
might have read, harinaapi harenapi brahmanaapi surairapi, Lalaatey
likhitha rekha sakyathey key na maarshtithum. It is also said,
alanghaneeyaa kamalasanaajna. Even for Vishnu Siva, Brahma, or the devas,
the writing on the forehead is impossible of erasure. The orders of the
occupant of the lotus seat ( brahma) cannot be circumvented. The master
talks about the inevitability of the vagaries of fate and also indicates
the futility of one's action in blaming others for once or misfortune. If
your gold is very rich in copper and tin,, what is the meaning of assaulting
the goldsmith?*
