Making of A Pioneer
Working Within Limit ©
The first farmer who settled from a nomadic existence after a couple of bad starts, reproached the wind thus, ‘Didn’t you tell me to go ahead and plant wheat?” “Yes?”
“Because you gave your word that you are everywhere, I took you on your word and the result,- entire field ruined by water! “ “Oh, it was the clouds which brought on early showers” said the wind.
” Next season it was a drought that did me in” wailed the farmer. “Blame it on the sun,” said the wind. “Aw shucks, What benefit is to me that you are everywhere?”
To be everywhere is not to be anywhere in particular’. This is the result of two laws of Compensation and that of Negation.
Every one of us individually and collectively as species is subject to these two laws.
Our finite factor allows us only a fragmented view of Oneness. Bits and pieces of what Oneness means we know: our Me-factor consequentially is not put to its optimum use. Instead of drawing from Oneness direct we can only supplement for all shortfalls from what the law of compensation allows. Working within a limit we gain and also lose out. Success and Failure shall therefore have interchangeable values.
Al Gore lost out to President Bush in the Presidential elections in 2000 and that election shall ever remain a controversy and a blot on the escutcheon of American form of Democracy. While President Bush by exceeding ineptness made everything he touched turn to ashes what did Al Gore do? It gave him time to concentrate on environmental issues. By winning a Nobel prize in 2007 for Peace he brought the stature of America a little higher from the odium of a war-mongering nation.
Al Gore could handle defeat. By interacting with the rest in whichever way the laws may play off we create a body of evidence for ourselves. Thereby we establish our relevance.
