The Track of LIFE

Ⅶ. The Track of LIFE

Everything in the universe rides on its own moving track. Galaxies, the solar system, the earth, the moon, and artificial satellites have their tracks respectively. Trains, automobiles, atoms, electrons, and all kinds of rays and electromagnetic waves, have their tracks respectively.

Clouds seem to float freely in the sky guided by wind currents, but they also ride on their own moving tracks. Meteorologists are capable of making weather forecasts for several weeks because they know the laws of clouds’ floating tracks. If they did not exist, accurate forecasts would not be possible, and if clouds did not have their own moving tracks, they would often hover over deserts and unload their rainfall there. If such were the case, deserts would not be deserts.

LIFE has tracks, too. Various LIFE forms are different from each other with respect to life spans, survival needs, sizes, external characteristics, and what types of elements allow them to thrive. Each LIFE form has its own track.

People have their own tracks of LIFE. Every time someone looks back at their past, they will see their track of LIFE, because they know that “Man proposes, the Greatest Creator disposes” and “Man manages small things, but big events are in the hands of the Greatest Creator”. Why? Because every person has their own track of LIFE.

Whether a person was born male or female, black or white, noble or humble, royal or common, everything has been determined by their track of LIFE. Even their time of birth and death have been determined by their track of LIFE, as well.

People who do not believe in the existence of tracks of LIFE need to see how badly battered they will be.

Can you become a president, a scientist, a singer, or a robber? Can you become a billionaire through hard work? Can you have three husbands? Can you be as handsome and elegant as James Bond, 007? Can you be another Jet Li or Madonna?

If you think you can, please try it, but if you cannot, then ask yourself why not?

Many people believe that they will become as famous and successful as popular celebrities by reading their biographies. Some expect to succeed after reading self-improvement books such as L. Ron Hubbard’s “Dianetics”. Some idolize or envy those stars and silently vow to become like them. Some want to follow the examples of those people making fortunes overnight. Some people can not accept how their friends and classmates get promotions as section chiefs, and so on, but no matter how hard you think or how much you learn, you will never be the same as another person. Why? Because everyone has their own track of LIFE.

If you do not believe it, just try!

Today’s situations have been preconditioned by yesterday’s events and today’s efforts are just for tomorrow.

Your track in this lifetime has been preconditioned by the karma of previous Lives and your efforts in this lifetime is just for your future Lives.

What good is jealousy? What good is dissatisfaction? And what is the good of wondering?

The Life of wisdom should be accepted like this: “take things as they are, associate with others by following predestined relationships, act in accordance with our nature, and take advantage of opportunities that arise”

LIFE has its track. Then who designs the track of LIFE and who formulates it?

It is not the Greatest Creator! Not Deity Celestial Beings! Not the emperors! Not our parents! Not anyone but our very own selves!

In order to understand karma, let us examine it.

What is Karma?

Maintaining the sum of positive and negative energy in the universe at zero is called Karma.

Simply stated, Karma is the law of the conservation of energy.
A more popular, descriptive phrase is, “As one sows, so shall they reap”.

It is impossible to describe the mechanism of Karma in detail unless we possess the thinking of the Greatest Creator.

I will list nine well-known examples to show you whether there is Karma or not:

1. Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein was ousted and arrested by the American and British governments. Might there be any connection between this event and his invasion and occupation of Kuwait? If we regard this event as a result, can we then say that his actions were the cause (surely it is not the only cause)? Were there not the occupation of Kuwait, would the effect have been different?

2. Is there any connection between the hard-line foreign policy of the United States government and the destruction of the World Trade Center? If the destruction could be seen as an effect, then can the hard-line policy of the United States be seen as the cause? (Of course, it was not the only cause)

3. Why did Hitler kill the Jews? Why did Japan invade China? Why did the Crusades happen? Were there no causes for these?

4. Why did sandstorms occur in northern of China? Why did the SARS virus and Bird Flu emerge? Why did rivers overflow? Were there no causes for these?

5. Why is the United States so prosperous in spite of having such a brief, two hundred year history, while China remains poor and backward in spite of its long, five thousand year history? Why is Europe so developed while Africa is not?

6. When someone is admitted to a doctoral program, does it occur overnight, or was it related to their natural endowments, family background, social environment, and personal hard work?

7. When one suffers from a heart attack, does that affliction come from nowhere, or is it related to their medical history, mental and psychological states, and bad habits?

8. When someone gets a sudden headache, stomach ache, or angina, can their be no reasons? When someone is in a car crash, or was stabbed with a knife, or becomes unconsciousness, are there never any causes for these things?

9. Some people can afford to stay in five-star hotels, while others can only lodge in cheap inns or sleep on the street. Is this possible without any reasons? Some people are born into rich families and others are born into poor families, are there no reasons for this?
