Predictability

Children, up to a certain age are fairly predictable…. In the sense, that their body language, mannerisms, likes and dislikes, responses to toys, things around, mischief-prone temptation-causing items become more or less familiar to elders. The concerned parents know how safe it is to give or snatch away a material like toy, etc.

As we grow, this predictability aspect becomes fuzzy. A youth even finds it difficult to assess one’s own potential, likelihood of affinity for a specialized branch of study at post-matriculation level. The mother finds it difficult to predict her teenage daughter’s vulnerability to ‘outside’ temptations! The mood of the boss is usually unpredictable. Stock market is unpredictable. (At global economy level, a powerful country could not predict the adverse impact of ‘unaccounted’ dollars, when it tried to dump dollar currency into the ‘world-market’, to topple the economy of the native country to which dollars belonged! “Jai ho…..”!!)

Thus confronted with need to predict various things in life, a person succumbs to hero-worship people with better ability to predict. If this ability seems to defy logic, then this prediction-abled person becomes God-like! Thus, predictability seems to enlarge its scope, to include logical skills, diagnostic skills, assessability, imaginative skills, calculative skills, astrological skills, and what not!

My efforts to deter the asker from the temptation to attach too much importance to this predictability did not seem to yield the desired results and quite surprisingly, the answer found a favor despite its lack of appeal in a right sense, to the asker. I was reminded of the comment by a very learned professor, who crowned me with a wonderful phrase, “reaching the mind of the asker”. Well, this time, I did seem to have reached the asker (way beyond the construction of the question…. or , was it constriction?), though perhaps, my answer did not!

Predictability, to me, seems to be an incidental byproduct of deepening of perception, whichever way we try to look at it. And that is why, I added in my answer, that beyond a point, it does not matter to us, whether we employ this ability or not! It is quite another matter that we see a lot of evolved beings consciously spell out their predictions to suit the situation, demonstrating their unmatched ability to seamlessly interweave with the ‘cosmic’ law or its balance! Something that does give an immense sense of satisfaction and a feeling of ample reward in itself to humble beginners like me!

When the person's life could be imagined by them?
Does it become the god for its predictable?

My answer:
It becomes 'wise' when it becomes more prediction--abled.
But it becomes Godly or more God-like, when it does not matter what happens to life!
