A kaleidoscope creates beautiful patterns from chaotic bits and pieces,
which are scattered everywhere. When the kaleidoscope is turned, disorder
becomes order, chaos becomes beauty and symmetry. The Drama of Life is
constantly turning and we are part of its cyclic movement; sometimes this
cyclic movement of life is supportive, comprehensible (understandable) and
enjoyable and, at other times, it is tense, fearful, stressful and
incomprehensible (not understandable). There is confusion and fear because
we do not understand what is happening, why it is happening and how it will
get better. Things not only appear chaotic but also hopeless. If the
intellect is able to go beyond the questions of 'Why?', 'What?' and 'How?'
and just be still, without judgements, or pressure, for some period of time,
then things do work out. To do this requires faith.
*The power of faith means that we know that somehow and somewhere right
solutions and answers will come in their own time.
We are so used to controlling people and situations to obtain a particular
result that we have forgotten how to use the power of faith.
The Law of Faith says, 'Plant the right seeds, make the right effort, but
also let things be.' Faith does not mean to be passive (inactive) but rather
to have acted and thought about something and then have the patience and
trust that the Drama of Life is also taking care of it; the outcome of any
action is not just up to me.
In Raja Yoga meditation taught by the Brahma Kumaris, we often hear the term
'a faithful intellect is victorious'. As the Drama of Life turns, such an
intellect works like a kaleidoscope and can perceive and see the often
hidden, beautiful patterns in life’s situations that, in time, become
visible and benevolent.
*Success, or victory, depends as much on doing the task with the right
intention, as it does on allowing things to take their own course. Wisdom is
an awareness of this balance.*
