THE EGG AND THE ROCK

!When the egg falls on the rock-ALAS! When the rock falls on the egg-ALAS! This illustrates the LAW OF ACCIDENT but many confuse the issue by thinking that someone, something, some Being, has to do such-drop the egg or the rock, hence, signaling an intention whether human or Divine. But who can fathom the intentions of the UNIVERSE or of GREAT NATURE? We make feeble attempts and then there are no end of prophets, seers, wisemen, sages, mystics, saints, etc. that either with words or example attempt to rouse us from our stupor. For such we should be more grateful but few of us are! THINGS HAPPEN! So, we must get away from being under the law of accident. Eggs in a nest on a tree may be blown out by strong winds and dashed to the ground and smashed,never reaching their bird-potential! Eggs in a nest on a cliff may be smashed by rocks tumbling down into their nook or cranny or whatever. Such things happen to mankind and we can cite many examples. Some call this FATE of DESTINY.
