Are Justifications Necessary ?

Humans are curious by nature. Since the beginning, man looked around at the surroundings and was curious to know how the things are the way they are. Why things happen the way they do; why the sun rises in the morning and goes down in the evening, why does it rain, or why the seasons change etc.

Today, with the advanced knowledge of science, we understand a lot about the nature, our surroundings and why things happen in certain ways.

But still, when some incidents happen that are beyond our comprehension, then we become confused, and try to create our own logics to make some sense of it.

On one hand, we constantly talk about ‘Unconditional-Surrender and Acceptance’ and yet, we try to find some justifications to accept the truth to console ourselves.  

Perhaps ‘Ignorance is our predominant mode in life’.

If we ever find ourselves defending a position, or justifying an incidence, it means we have not been able to accept the ‘will of God’ or the ‘destiny’.

And if we start campaigning to justify to others, explaining how and why it happened by giving our own strange logics, it means fear has conquered our own minds and hearts. It means we are weak and feel defeated; that our defenses are up because we are scared. It’s the fear that is in control.

So we try to come up with some self-created strange logics by manipulating the truth. We tend to scrutinize each small detail of the incidence and try to find some events that can be explained in a peculiar way, take the partial phrases out of context, twist them and explain them in our own way; to prove our own way of thinking. 

But every one may not agree and be willing to accept that logic. 

We tend to forget that ‘every logic may have a counter-logic’.
Every answer we give, may raise more new questions.

Are justifications really necessary?

Do we have to justify everything, every incidence, every happening?

Accepting, not resisting is the key to attain peace.

 “Huqam Razaayi chalnaa Nanak likheya naal”

           "हुक़म रज़ाई चलना नानक लिखया नाल "

Until we learn to accept the reality without any justification, we may not be at peace.
