Actor Director

“Bodies Act, God directs”

 We all have a story in this universe that we perceive as meaningful and there is no reason as to why it won’t be. Nevertheless, have we thought that this universe in itself can also be a story?! The Lord being its director and we its’ actors; now by “we”, I mean everyone who are here: we human, animals, birds, plants, mountains, rivers; briefly, all the moving and non-moving beings. The absolute universe is a plot for the God, and we all are acting in his movie. It is him who writes the script and directs the movie and only as per his will the showtimes are decided, which means the starting, screening and ending of it.

Honestly, we are being the protagonists, don’t get to choose the role to play because the director is the one who puts us in the most deserving parts. It is him who decides how long a character will play his share, when he will be born, when he will die, whether he will be reborn or not, who will be his kin and kith among all the co-actors, which part of the universe he will breathe in, where he will be going and what not! I don’t think in any of these; a protagonist has his say.

Yet, there is a catch here. The better he plays his role the higher are his chances are to progress and gain deliverance. Inversely, if he doesn’t learn from his offenses and fails to do justice to his part, there are likewise greater chances that he will be needed to do retakes and mind you, that too not in the same role, he might be casted in the other bodies. The idea is to keep learning and enhancing throughout the journey. Guess, you would have got an idea about where this is going! “Karma” The definite deal breaker! Nothing but the actions determine in which direction the character are heading. Although he doesn’t get to choose in which body, he will be born, where he will play his part, who will be his co-actors, he does get to choose how he wants to play his part and how he wants to act his responsibilities because that will conclude his providence in the “Universal Film Industry.”

It is uncanny that we are concerned about our story that will eventually end with our body while Lord is interested in the story of our soul that has taken and will take a million other bodies until it discovers him!
