While coming back home from my lab today, saw a chain reaction in front of me. There is a park on my way home. A kid was pestering his mom to buy him one more packet of popcorn from the road-side vendor, and his mom was pulling him away from the vendor to cross the road on their way home. Unaware of a bike racing towards them from behind. The guy driving the bike however saw them in the front and jammed his brakes right in time and avoided the bang. The lady completely unaware of this nick-of-the-time saved accident, right behind her back, continued crossing the road, and the kid eating his popcorn. And just behind the bike-guy, a huge truck had saved the bike by applying the brakes at the right time due to the sudden occurances. And the most amazing part was that the bike-guywas totaly unaware of the mishap from which he had just been saved by the truck driver. What I saw overall was pretty scary and edge-of the seat experience because I saw thse three things happening within a span of seconds. I felt as if it was a remote controlled game being operated in front of me by some external force. But then just started analyzing it as I walked further.
This entire incident can be seen in various parts and stages and many conclusions or observations can be derived out of it. Firstly, the lady and the child. Many times we are completely unaware of things around us and get out of situations without even knowing as to what has happend in reality. Nothing to worry as far as no harm done. Can say that. For the bike-guy, many times in life you see the problem in front of you, try your best to solve it, and when you find the solution, give a sigh of relief. But you never know that at the same time, somebody else has taken you out of a bigger disaster, for example, as the truck-driver did here. God, as we call Him, or the Supreme External Control, whatsoever you want to call it. I am comfortable calling it God. God always gives us indications. We see it and either analyze it or don't. And I believe even if we don't analyze it, it always gets recorded in our memory and gets analyzed by default. Just does not get expressed everytime. Sounds very Alchemistish. Positively. Completely aware of the fact. I am one big thing impressed and affected by Mr.Paulo Coelho. No wonder. Read this book just once till now, around 3 years ago. But till date I keep relating day-to-day incidents with it and keep discovering new angles and dimensions of looking at things. Just while this hoard of thoughts was going on in my mind, at the next crossing, here I was about to bang into a motorcycle. The man driving it pulled his brakes right in time, he was coming from the wrong-side of a one-way. But still if it wouldn't have been his control over his driving, I would have been in little trouble. At that moment, it struck upon me, that when we stand audience to an indication, as I call it, we analyze it to the fullest but we never take the indication as an indication for ourselves. Maybe the event I just 5 minutes ago was an indication for me that I should be careful and avoid accidents like this. But we get so busy pitying others, blaming others, advising others, we often forget that we too belong to the same world and the same rules apply to us too. Learning things from experiences and observations is appreciable and beneficial. But what is important is to apply it in future relevances and ofcourse for ourselves too. Just reminds me of a saying, when one door closes, God opens another. But we often keep staring at the closed door for so long that we miss to see which door had opened. Not exactly related to the experience I mentioned above, but is an extension to it.
Maybe after reading this, you will say that, we know this already, this sight, this way of thinking..............Some say it out, some don't.
