MASTERPLAN
Introduction:-
Most of us believes that there exist a plan which is decided by GOD and we all follow it willingly or non-willingly, I call that plan as a Masterplan. We all in our lives at some point says that it is all written or it is predestined. People call this Masterplan by different names some call destiny, some call luck or their can be any other name also. But our point of interest is that, does it really exist. Different people have different beliefs regarding this.
Master plan vs Free-will:-
Western culture has always been a great admirer of free-will and that is a thing I like most about Western culture. They advocates the importance of free-will over Masterplan. Instead of blaming others they openly accept their mistakes but we Indians are not good at this, we can give you thousands of reason for our failure each blaming external factor for it. I remember a hollywood movie starring Matt Daemon which is all based on this, the name of movie is "Adjustment Bureau". In this movie free-will win over Masterplan. In this movie their is a bureau which ensures that Masterplan is going as decided by the Masterplanner(God) and this bureau is "Adjustment Bureau" which performs all the essential adjustments to maintain Masterplan. In movie Matt Daemon falls in love with a girl which is not in accordance with Masterplan so member of bureau tries to separate them but in the end love and free-will of hero emerges victorious.
Now their is old saying in India, "God help those who help themselves". This idiom also supports free-will over Masterplan. As I can recall there is a Indian mythological story of Satywan and Savitri in which Savitri by her will challenges the Masterplan and make the member of Adjustment Bureau i.e Yamraj to grant life to his husband. So why we blame God or his plan when something is not going right way. Is it our limitation or God's fault when things are not going our way.
Conclusion:-
I personally feel that, yes, their exist a Masterplan, but we also have a gift from God called free-will using which we can challenge the Master plan and cause ripples in the stable water. The more we challenge Masterplan or the more we cause ripples their is more chance of getting noticed by God or Masterplanner. A beautiful instance from our life, when we walk, our one foot is on ground and other is in air so we have a option to place our foot where we want i.e our will and also, our decision of placing our foot, which is in air, will determine the destiny of foot which is on ground, that where it will land next. So upto some extent we can use our free-will to determine our destiny. On the concluding note, I would say never surrender yourself in front of fate, luck or destiny. Try hard, hit hard and never give up.
