Whatever is destined…

Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. That is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.

— Ramana Maharshi

 

“Remaining silent” for anyone who doesn’t live in a cave in the Himalayas means maintaining a connection to one’s center amidst an active life.

I sometimes find myself wondering… is this true?  Regardless, remembering this quote always causes me to relax and align with the flow of reality.
