What Evolution Does Change Bring?
The fundamental necessity behind evolution is change.
There can be no evolution without change. So change has to
be accepted, in anything, whether it is a house, whether it
is a personal growth, or a system of knowledge.
The only permanent thing in the universe is change. This
inevitability of change is the foundation for all our hopes
and aspirations. At the lowest level, our hopes are for
a betterment in the human condition; at the highest level
it is an aspiration for spiritual evolution to the highest!
Whatever our hopes may be for, hope is founded upon the
possibility of change. Hope exists in our hearts only because
we naturally and intuitively perceive the inevitability
of change, which gives us the understanding that under no
circumstances can the present continue as it is. It must
change into something else.
It is this aspiration for change that is reflected in our
hearts as a hope for the future. Without change, therefore,
there can be no future. It is this perception of the process
of change, and its promise for the future, which makes us
strive to become something which we are not! Change alone
holds out the possibility of progress. It is change that
offers us the promise of growth, and the certainty of becoming
what our Divine Master wishes us to become. Viewed in this
way, change is the process of becoming! The Divine
Personality, our Benevolent Master, has come down only for
effecting such change to enable us to become what He wants
us to become. Our Beloved Master is thus seen to be a Divine
agent of Change!
Can we oppose change? Do we have the power to prevent change?
If we oppose change, we are really opposing His Will. Our
duty clearly lies in speeding up the process of change by
dedicated Sadhana, so that our journey to the destination,
our Original Home, is accelerated.
